2017-05-25 "Appreciating our Benefactors" 47:38
James Baraz
It’s important to recognize and appreciate all the support we receive in our spiritual practice as well as in our lives. If practice sometimes seems like a solitary experience we’re not realizing all the ways that life has been supporting us. This can be an on-going rich source of inspiration in our spiritual development and growth. We’ll explore various practices and reflections to make this come alive.

Inquiry has to start with acknowledging where we are now, then further discernment will tell us a bit more about the why. Based on the morning instructions on the 4 Elements we come to know more about the dynamics of our life, i.e. the body and mind and the whole universe.
