"Email Teachings"
(with Stephanie Nash, Founder of Mindfulness Arts)
|
On a regular basis, I have people who have studied with me or heard me speak,
email me with long in-depth questions about aspects of this practice or 'the path'
(or sometimes it's just asking for another take, like you would a from an experienced friend.)
I do my best to answer according to my understanding and experience
(and by no means am attempting to be a 'Dear Abby' or an enlightened master.)
I've just offered whatever I can to help with that particular experience and, with permission,
I have posted some of the interchanges that have proven to be particularly helpful
with the simple notion that they may prove helpful for someone else.
With gratitude to my teachers - especially Shinzen Young,
my practice, and my experience on this path.
For all my relations,
Steph
