SUMMARY:Tuesday Online—Robin Boudette—Finding Freedom from Habitual Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Online—Robin Boudette—Finding Freedom from Habitual Patterns\nan evening of meditation and teaching \nwith Robin Boudette \nFebruary 2\, 2021 \nIn the chaos of our everyday lives\, we often run on auto-pilot finding ourselves caught in unhealthy habit patterns. In our attempts to help ourselves\, we might watch too much news\, plan for every possible situation\, reach for our favorite comfort food or engage in other unhealthy behaviors\, unwittingly feeding our anxiety and making things worse. Fortunately\, mindfulness provides practices and skills that can help us change unhealthy habits and live in greater harmony with life. But how? The Buddha taught that disenchantment is key. In this evening session\, we will explore self-reflections to illuminate habit loops and explore how we can tap into the direct experience of disenchantment. The taste of disenchantment opens the space to let go\, without effort. We can develop the mind’s propensity to form habits to strengthen wholesome states and wise action and transform the roots of suffering. \nRecommended reading:  Judson Brewer\, MD\, PhD.\, The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love – Why We Get Hooked and how We Can Break Bad Habits \nDana from this event will be offered to Southern Comfort Animal Rescue\, a small rescue in rural Georgia where there are no other resources for homeless dogs.\nSouthern Comfort Animal Rescue\, 1484 N. Hwy. 19\, Glenwood\, GA 30428 \nPlease join us on Zoom. This event is appropriate for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners.
