When Will Enough Be Enough?

In this meditation, we explore what it would be like if this moment were enough. What if we could experience this moment as having everything we need?

Let's begin our meditation by

finding a comfortable posture.

This could be sitting,

lying down or standing.

If it feels okay to do so

today, you can close your eyes.

And we'll start by taking

a deep breath together.

In through the nose.

And slowly out through the mouth.

You can invite the jaw to relax.

The shoulders.

And the belly.

And eventually letting your breath

settle back into its natural rhythm.

And start by feeling what

it's like to be still.

Getting more familiar with this

quality of being, rather than our

usual mode of constantly doing.

You might even notice some of the momentum

from the day or previous days, creating

this sense of needing to do something or

get somewhere, or fix, solve, achieve.

All of which has its place in our life.

And all of which can keep us on this

never ending treadmill of striving

for some future moment when everything

will come together and then we

can relax, then it will be enough.

So see what it's like to

experience this moment as enough.

Doesn't mean that there's not more to

do or more that needs to be changed

or problems that need to be solved.

It's more an acknowledgement that you

can experience wholeness and you can

experience the fullness of your life

as it is right now, in this moment.

And so you can use this phrase as

a mantra, this moment is enough.

And each time you say it in your

awareness, feel yourself integrated more

deeply and settle into it more fully.

This moment is enough.

So as we transition to the end

of this meditation, let's take

one more deep breath together.

In through the nose.

And slowly out through the mouth.

And when you're ready, you

can let your eyes open again.

Well done.

This practice can be tough because it's

clear that there are things happening

in the world and in our lives, and

even in our families that make this

moment justifiably feel incomplete.

Things need to shift and

change and that's true.

And yet there will always be something.

And so we simultaneously, I believe,

need to develop this capacity

to be in our lives fully here to

experience a sense of wholeness

here with all of the incompleteness.

And that's a powerful practice to take

with us into our life, with all of the

change that still needs to be made.

So thank you for doing the deep work.

Thank you for your practice.

I'll talk to you soon.

Until we speak again, take care.
