🌙Practice 4 — Living in Question

Practice formulating a concise question that reflects the primary issue in your life right now. You might start with something very general — like "What is my suffering?" Then your practice of putting this question before yourself will gradually sculpt it into something very personal and specific.

  1. 1

    Formulate a concise question that reflects the primary issue in your life right now. If you can't get a handle on the main issue right away, that's fine — just begin.

  2. 2

    Repeat your question when you: wake up in the morning · brush your teeth · begin each meal · rise to walk · fall asleep · whenever it comes to mind.

  3. 3

    Notice what comes up for you. Make a few notes if you wish.
