The Conscious Action Podcast by Brian Berneman
Episode 187 - Finding the right practice
Importance of finding the right practices:
Brian discusses the importance of finding the right experiences and practices that can support each moment in our lives and help us be well. As we change and grow, we need to be open to exploring new and different practices, perspectives, and traditions to continue expanding and developing.
Adapting practices to different moments:
Brian shares how some practices he started practicing as a teenager he still does, but not in the same way every day. He learned to adapt the practices based on his energy levels, physical state, and mental state in each moment. Different moments may require a more physical, mental, or energetic approach.
Staying present and open to change:
Brian cautions against becoming too attached to a single practice, even if it has been beneficial, and encourages staying present, aware, and open to exploring what will be most supportive in each moment. Practices that once worked may need to change as we change.
Applying this approach to all areas of life:
Brian explains that this principle of adapting practices to the moment applies not just to spiritual or wellness practices, but to everything we do in our lives, including our work. Even if the activity seems the same, we can approach it differently based on our current state.
Trusting your inner experience:
Brian encourages to tune into your inner experience in each moment and discern what would be most beneficial - whether that's meditation, a walk, creative work, or time with others. By doing this consistently, we can sustain our growth and wellbeing.
