Day 26 | Be Your Own Refuge | Waning Crescent | Mindfulness with the Moon

This is day twenty six of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

Today, we will have a dharma talk discussing a quote from the Buddha, "be your own refuge." What happens when everything is all stripped away? What is left? Can we still cultivate happiness in ourselves and become our own refuge, no matter what is happening around us?

In our 20 minute meditation practice, we will work with this idea. You will have a lot of space to see what comes up for you by following the music with some light guidance.
