ALL THINGS By Jeff Brown 

“Above all, be at ease, be as natural and spacious as possible. Slip quietly out of the noose of 
your habitual anxious self, release all grasping, and relax into your true nature. Think of your 
ordinary emotional, thought-ridden self as a block of ice or a slab of butter left out in the sun. If 
you are feeling hard and cold, let this aggression melt away in the sunlight of your meditation. 
Let peace work on you and enable you to gather your scattered mind into the mindfulness of 
Calm Abiding, and awaken in you the awareness and insight of Clear Seeing. And you will find 
all your negativity disarmed, your aggression dissolved, and your confusion evaporatingslowly like mist into the vast and stainless sky of your absolute nature.”
