Our Moving into Meditation class continues at Yoga Bliss. Over the next few weeks we’ll draw inspiration from The Five Invitations, Frank Ostaseski’s wonderful book about living with the awareness that we’re going to die: “an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves” Frank is the cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project and Metta Institute. He has spent years being tenderly present with people during their most vulnerable moments. His book distills what he’s learned into five invitations we can answer in living a conscious life in connection with each other.
The Five Invitations:
- Don’t Wait
- Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing
- Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience
- Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things
- Cultivate Don’t Know Mind
