Come join Volunteer, Peer Support Specialist Kirk Poe for "Awaken Your Inner Healer!" edition of Warriors for Life (WFL) Online, sponsored and presented by Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV).
We are asking everyone to share who we are and what support Victory for Veterans provides via WFL. If you know someone who is a veteran, first responder or a family member/caregiver, please ask them to join us for at least one meeting so they can learn more about what we do and how they can share their wisdom with others who may be able to learn from them.
TONIGHT's Topic: "Bee In The Jar"
Join Kirk and Friends TONIGHT for a discussion about "Bee In The Jar" Everyone is welcome!
As mediation teacher Joseph Goldstein observes, "It's like being a bee in a jar, pinging from one thought to the next." We ricochet between inner states without much awareness, pulled in every direction.
In Buddhist psychology, this restless cycle is described as being caught or identified with whatever emotion or thought happens to appear.
All day long, we're swept along by inner weather. Emotions such as joy, irritation, craving, anxiety, fear, and boredom rise and fall like waves. Alongside them, our minds spin out an endless flow of thoughts: judgments, plans, fantasies, regrets. While emotions and thoughts are different processes, they feed into one another. An anxious thought sparks a racing heart; a restless body gives rise to catastrophic thinking. The two intertwine until we can no longer tell which came first.
