Ambiguity & Uncomfortable Truths | 11/30/2022 “Meditation Q & A With Wendy Nash” #03
Channel: Integrating Presence
Date: 2022-12-01

Before the show Wendy said, she'd like to chat about “how to practice with ambiguity, uncomfortable truths, people we love but don’t like their ways or words, navigating guilt, shame, humiliation, privilege. . . The problem of wanting to be good, right, ethical, when these are all one side of the coin, how to include the crappy stuff without avoiding it or being overwhelmed. How to rise to the challenge rather than rise above it avoid the challenge.”

I replied, “the only thing amongst what you’ve mentioned I see and feel has been mostly hijacked for political purposes on both sides is “privilege” so while I can still obviously address, this comes as low preference. All the others are all engines go with preferences weighted to meditative contexts.”

Background:

Regular, current and past visitors to Integrating Presence may recall the monthly series "Ask Us Anything" https://integratingpresence.com/category/ask-us-anything I did with Denny K Miu from August 2020 until January 2022 -- partially including and continuing on with Lydia Grace as co-host for awhile until March 2022.

For a few months thereafter I did various Insight Timer live events exploring potential new directions and/or a continuation of the Ask Us Anything format while weaving in other related teachings to these events.

Then, after chats with meditation coach Wendy Nash of https://kindlycutthecrap.com it became clear to start a new collaboration similar to "Ask Us Anything" simply and clearly called "Meditation Q & A" especially due to the original intent of the Ask Us Anything's being "discussions about meditation and related topics."

*There's naturally an ongoing open call for meditation (related) questions for the (roughly) monthly "Meditation Q & A" either by the various social media means listed; integratingpresence [at]protonmail.com or just showing up here on YouTube, on Insight Timer live or Wisdom App to type/ask live.*
