Description

How do we become more fluid, more open, and more wise? How do we embrace trust instead of giving in to fear? In this week's talk, MOI teacher Anne Savery unpacks the path factor of Wise View, dividing it into the two components of fluidity and fixedness. She asks us to reflect upon our own views and experiences, exploring how fluid or how fixed they can be. Anne also revisits two important phrases that arise in her own practice: (1) "Habituate to openness," and (2) "Welcome everything; push nothing away." She states that spiritual companions, or "soul friends," are vital in cultivating openness, fluidity, and trust.
