#117 Sustaining Your Practice with Buddhist and IFS Perspectives
Jen's back from a brief hiatus to talk about how to build a sustainable spiritual/contemplative practice that can withstand the shifting demands of your time and energy. You can't really lose a practice, but circumstances change and your practice can and should change with you.
In this episode you'll find
- Why "class" as a construct isn't the paradigm you need to follow when crafting your personal home practice
- What the Buddha's Raft Parable can tell us about letting your practice adapt to your situation and not the other way around
- How to approach resistance in your practice with support from IFS Parts Work and the Four Hindrances
