Hi, welcome back to
your Daily Mindfulness.
In today's session we're going
to talk about spiritual maturity.
Now the word spirituality lands
differently for different people.
Now personally, I was someone
that was, uh, very opposed
to that word for a long time.
And it was mainly because I just
didn't understand what it meant.
The way I use spirituality is just to
refer to how we understand ourselves
beyond just the thoughts moving
through our mind, our emotions, or
even our external accomplishments.
And many could argue that you are on a
spiritual journey, uh, just exploring
this app and these meditations and
exploring who you are beyond just the
thoughts passing through your mind.
And so what is spiritual maturity?
Well, there's a lot of different
ways to think about that.
But one of the ways I think we can
look at maturation in this journey
is just the recognition that there's
no internal or external experience
that can lead to lasting peace.
There's no internal or external
experience that can lead to lasting peace.
This is one of the first insights
that really pulls us to go deeper
into meditation and into just the
exploration of what it means to be human.
Sometimes this happens because
we started meditating and we
saw that, wow, everything is
constantly changing or in flux.
And it, it triggers us to
recognize that, you know, where
can I take refuge in anything?
And the meditation traditions,
they often say that the first stage
of wisdom, a person is considered
wise when they've truly seen the
impermanent nature of experience.
And because it's only then that, that
person is a bit disillusioned by the idea
of accumulating a lot of things, whether
it's external material things, or even a
momentary feeling or emotion or sensation.
The more, we pay attention to that
flow of external experience as it
changes around us, the relationships,
people, material, things, and
our internal landscape, thoughts,
emotions, sensations, the more we see
it's just, it's constantly changing.
There's no refuge to be taken in, in any
given moment in such that it's going to
last forever, that this hmm, particular
arrangement of experiences is now going
to be where we find peace forever.
Instead that sparks an interest and an
understanding that perhaps a deeper peace,
a deeper joy, a deeper happiness can
only be found by learning to move fluidly
with the changing landscape of our life.
The good news is that's what you're
exploring each time you meditate.
So hopefully this inspires you a little
bit more to, uh, continue your practice
and to maybe even think about maturity
in a, in a different kind of way/ as
always thank you for your practice.
And I'll talk to you in the meditation.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
