Soon after retiring, Tracy Budd, who had a strong meditation practice, embarked on an exploration of meditating for four hours a day following the Elephant Path and the teachings of Culadasa.

In this interview we explore what happened over the course the year, the breakthroughs, the breakdowns, the insights and what he learned about doing intensive practice at home.

You’ll find this interview inspiring, particularly if you have ever had fantasies of putting everything aside and doing the kids of practices reserved for monks and renunciates.

We continue our exploration on moving from Fear to clear-seeing.

You’ll explore a few protocols that have helped me enormously in shifting from feeling caught to feeling empowered again.   Fear can serve as an early-warning detection system and when explored mindfully, can point the way toward more skillful means.

I reference The Sedona Method, the work of Tim Ferris  and the work of Byron Katie.

This talk explores how to move from Fear to Clear-Seeing and new possibilities.

You’ll learn how unresolved fear restricts the possibilities in your life and how you can turn toward fear through cognitive processes as well as somatic inquiry.

When you shift from “How do I get rid of this?” to “What can I learn from this?” you may start to feel new possibilities.
