Will Writes:


     "This Tuesday I would like to lead a teaching and discussion on Happiness. 
      Abraham Lincoln said that, 'Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.' 
      Maybe not so simple. Let’s take up the Steps to Happiness and Joy. 
    You might consider what gets in the way of joy—and what prompts it." 
   
A man likes to believe that he is the master of his soul. But as long as he is unable to control his moods and emotions, or to be conscious of the myriad secret ways in which unconscious factors insinuate themselves into his arrangements and decisions, he is certainly not his own master…
Carl Jung

Easing Awake offers a monthly meditation
group in addition to our weekly
Tuesday Sangha Meetings. 
  • This group meets on the first Friday of each month from 4:30 PM to 6 PM PST. The next meeting is 03 March 2023. The group is open to joining late and leaving early as required. 
  • We invite each participant to share their thoughts on their practice and life in a stream of consciousness fashion. 
    • No formal structure is required. People often talk about their work, health, relationships, and whatever else is most on their mind. 
    • In many cases, they would talk about benefits and/or challenges related to their meditation practice as well as new insights or resources.
  • The rest of the group silently acknowledges. They may offer support and validation and may share related personal experiences of their own. 
    • Advising, preaching and patronizing often leads to shutting people down and we keep ourselves aware to avoid that. 
    • Some people may look for specific advice or would like to use the group as a sounding board. 
  • Sharing is not compulsory and one can opt out of it. 
  • The resulting experience of the listener as well as the person sharing is one of relief and finding love and support.
