About this meditation
You trust your decisions and take bold action
Full transcript
Notice the weight of the body where it meets the floor, and rest.
The mind that is somewhere else is already cut, the mind that is here is uncuttable.
Be the anvil, heavier than the blow, absorbing in silence, shaping the steel that strikes it.
The self that thinks before it cuts is already too late, train until thought and motion are one.
Today, victory over yourself of yesterday, the only opponent that matters is within.
The master subtracts, the novice adds, do nothing which is of no use.
Feelings are weather, they pass over the body like cloud over the mountain.
Wherever you are, be there, the mind that is here is uncuttable.
Notice your fingers, your toes, the room, and slowly open your eyes.
