“Study, Practice & Apply”
Introduction:
The suggestion is that the more the body, heart and mind are understood. The less stress we hold. The 3 aspects of this process are study, practice and understanding.
- Study- Reading and listening to talks can provide different intellectual models of practice to consider. With study an INTEREST to practice often occurs.
- Practice- The practice of formal meditation and daily mindfulness (remembering to come back into the present moment) allow for the realizations of new understandings to arise.
- Apply- With open minded inquiry we gain insight into the true nature of stress and our role in it.
These new understandings lead to INTEREST in further study. Further study leads to more practice. Regular practice leads to more understanding. More understanding = less stress. :-)
