Moving into Spaciousness

In this talk Mary will talk about identifying those constricted and frightened parts of ourselves that we may not even be aware of. When we’re caught in any type of addictive behavior, we’re also often trapped in habits of mind that are driven by fear and an inability to be with reality. When we hold on to our beliefs of the way things are supposed to be, or fight off the way things are, we’re often tense and cling tightly to our ideas. This practice offers us a way to recognize what this constriction feels like in our bodies and how to let go and make more space. As we release the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts”, we can breathe more easily and allow ourselves to be more intimate with our experience. We learn to trust the what’s actually happening instead of what we think might happen. This moves us into the calm and ease that spaciousness allows.
