January 18 – Taking in the good

By | January 18, 2024

Dear Friends,

There’s a reason sila is a practice rather than a set of rules – it’s a way we can explore where we can grow and cultivate.

When you reflect on sila, maybe you’re like me – I tend to notice many of the ways I fall short. To counteract this negativity bias, it’s also important to recognize all the ways we are already being skillful.

Rick Hanson has written and talked about the practice of taking in the good. For today’s practice, you might want to check out the meditation and talk from a session Rick led in March 2023.

With good wishes,
