As Christmas is approaching, let’s dedicate today’s conversation to the greatest gift of all.
There is enormous conditioning around the holiday season. It looks like at Christmas, we want to have all of the things we are told we should have - happiness, the perfect family, the right amount of attention and praise for what we do. We want to give and receive the right gifts that show us that someone knows us and that will make us peaceful, happy and joyful.
But none of this is possible to achieve. Those are the unachievable wants of our mind. So what is it that we can give and receive instead, what would be the true gift of the holidays? Let’s find out in this episode.
What is Covered:
-What is our fundamental want and why it seems to be unachievable
-Why the holiday season can be particularly stressful and what is the hidden gift of that stress
-Considering holidays as the time to “up the lab” of inquiry
-How each of emotional turmoils can become a field of peak experience
-Observing and recognising vs. wanting and achieving
-The greatest gift you can receive at the time of holidays
