IDP Radio - Discursive Thoughts #1
This week on the ID Project Podcast, IDP Member Meredith Arena explores the subjective experience of meditation in the first of a series of spoken word pieces titled "Discursive Thoughts":
"Meditation is weird. My relationship to it changes every day and over time I have noticed patterns in my practice. Currently, it feels like a thought circus. Every once in a while I have a few days of focused practice and then, it explodes back into fireworks. I am fascinated by the show my mind continually puts on for me. This piece is about that. Give a listen and share your thoughts. I hope to make a piece at some point that addresses the more sublime moments in meditation." -- Meredith

The History of the Alexander Technique with Elizabeth Reid
The Alexander Technique is a subtle and profound technique that brings mindfulness of body to the forefront. With the tools of only body, speech and mind, the student is guided toward directed thinking and a non-doing approach, learning to recognize and transform habitual patterns of body that interfere with the innate vibrancy of the "basically good" body. Along with the transmission of a gentle non-doing touch from the teacher, the student is able to tune in to her own easeful system, connecting to the parasympathetic nervous system rather than the reactive "flight or flight" response so prevalent in our activity.

"What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.†---Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
These words inspire us to reflect--How can we reconcile and align the forces of love and power in our heart/mind? Can kindness, compassion and equanimity inform our passion for justice and can our passion for justice lead to the cultivation of kindness, compassion and equanimity? How do we live so that our lives reflect our deepest insights and how can our deepest insights profoundly affect a life of active engagement? We will investigate these questions through meditation, discourse and inquiry.
