ONLINE Meditation with Jon Weedn

December 28, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Uncertainty ? We could better ask what is actually “Certain” and not merely an expectation? And as for a “New Year?” , is it not just another figment of our expectation? It came to me to ask these questions as I was not exactly certain about my location at 5;30 tomorrow evening and it seemed necessary to share that with you in a way that made the uncertainty “Okay” …and of course it is. My expectation is to be with you , but in case I am not the explanation is just found in an acceptance of this “Uncertainty”. Every moment is “brand new” , and just happens to be the only reality there is.
New Year doesn’t exist and never will…it will always remain “Now”
This is our practice just being …here now …being with what is real …this moment.
With acceptance we can genuinely greet and experience this moment.
In resistance some part of us will always be somewhere else.
Love and wishes Jon

Ironically Acceptance can be a powerful tool , resulting in the potential

for  seeing the most positive change.

Resistance robs us of the energy and potential to see what is possible.

“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”― Rumi
