Great piece, Heron! I really appreciate the integrity it holds throughout.
There’s no attempt to make mindfulness practice sound more elevated than it is, no inflation of experience into something exceptional or distant. Instead, it stays close to what it actually feels like to sit and notice the present moment, busy mind and all.
Also, your description of noting practice is spot on and very accessible. I use noting in my own practice, both on and off the cushion, and find it a simple but powerful way of creating more space around experience (super useful when I get activated or things feel difficult).
Appreciate you sharing this, it’s genuinely useful 🙏🏼
