Hey Stacy;

I was thinking it might be time to re-engage with this process, possibly with fresh eyes.
Would it be possible/recommended to start over with a new guide and what would be the best way to go about this?
Not sure if Paul Simpson is still guiding but he had mentioned giving LU another ...

Just checking in. I am still working with buttchair and examining body sensations/contact points. I also spend some time looking in my present experience for the separate "self," the source of thoughts, the chooser of actions. That's most of what I would call "my practice" at this point ...

Hello;

Just checking in. I reviewed some of Pernilla's material on doubt, but nothing sank in. I may try to spend some more time with this later today or tomorrow. The main belief that drives the doubt is the existence of control and this separate self, so I have continued to look at this as ...

You sent me these dropbox meditations before and I still listen to them periodically. I also practice buttchair and explore sensations on a daily basis. I am not sure that there has been any significant shift, so there is some frustration here. Doubt seems likely to be playing a role.

"Eric: Yes, Ilona, thank you so much. Of course there is no “me”, never
was and never will be, just life moving in ever-changing patterns. Noth
ing really changes because it was always like that.
Just life and certainly nobody living it or doing it. The remaining
thing is that ...

I am a little more sensitive to a dense sensation in the gut/solar plexus when I look for it. I don't find it so much as a reaction to lies, but it is an overall feeling of discomfort and unease that seems related to thoughts. I read Gateless Gatecrashers a few months ago but I don't recall it well ...

It feels neutral, simple. Nothing special.

ButtChair

Please LOOK for any place where your butt ends & the chair begins.

Is there any clear dividing line between them? Or only the Sensation with no clear division?

It is simple direct & nonverbal. Just LOOK.

Then write what is true in Direct Experience.

Hi Stacy;

I just wanted to check in with you. I have moved out of my family home and into an apartment. I have ready the Byron Katie books you recommended and did find them helpful. Though I don't regularly find time to do "The Work," I often reflect on the principles from "I need your love: is ...

There is only the sensation with no division. Just one sensation in the same awareness of the sensation of back+chair and fingertips ...

I am open to it but not sure the best way to go about it.
I read through the Byron Katie book you recommended. It was helpful and I am now reading through it again a second time. Many of the issues the book talks about including seeking approval, self-worth, co-dependence, are ones that are really ...

Hello; yes, you shared these videos with me before and I appreciate them.

It is hard for me to examine some of these beliefs but I do understand that arguing with reality is pointless. There is still suffering and doubt in my current situation. On the one hand, suffering and doubt are here in ...

Thank you for checking in. Things are going OK. I am still coming to grips with the fact that my marriage is ending, which has been difficult. The holidays were also a bit weird, but overall OK.

I listened to a guided meditation while walking my dog on Christmas night and touched into what felt ...

Thank you. I may check those out later but I have not had much time for reading with everything that is going on with work, childcare, etc. I continue to meditate and self-inquire during the work day from time to time but am not sure I will have much new to report for the time being.

I read her book “Loving What Is” and did a few of the worksheets on her website. I understand that circumstances probably won’t change but I do want to suffer less.
