A Shift in Perspective
Tuesday 11 October 2022
A man, who is a long-term member of Alcoholics Anonymous, was introduced to Rupert on the Insight-Timer app when he came across objectless meditation. After practising 'kissing the toad', he asks how to get rid of the toad, which is his father. Rupert responds that his father is not the toad, anxiety is the toad. You're 'kissing the toad' in order to get rid of him, but it is your feelings that need to be embraced. Have no agenda to get rid of them but accept, allow and embrace the feeling of anxiety. It is your rejection of the feelings that keep them around. Be the open, empty space of awareness.
