BEGINNER'S MIND
Ever listened to a familiar song and heard the lyrics differently, so much that you suddenly sense into a whole new meaning? Seen something, or someone in a totally new light and realised the change isn’t in them, but in you?
In each of us there is a river of perceptions. Our perceptions reveal more about ourselves than others and the world changes to fit whatever story we are telling ourselves. Beginner’s mind is a Zen concept of approaching everything and everyone with fresh eyes. When we are too sure of anything, we are bound to suffer. What would life look like if we loosened our grip on what we have already decided to be true?
One quote…
Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.
Sharon Salzberg
One question…
What if the opposite were true?
