Ups And Downs

There are many ways to practice open awareness, in all the ups and downs but the essence of them all is simply to show up for your life — senses open, mind and heart open — and let yourself be as free of conceptual limitations as you can be. In other words, let yourself be as free as you can from labels — “good” and “bad,” “self” and “other,” and all the rest. Let yourself be in this state as much as possible.
