Disruptive practices to revolutionize your relationship with
meditation and fully engage with the full breadth of your
experience. Why do we meditate? The main reason most modern people
start meditating is because it helps us feel better--reducing
anxiety, improving sleep, decluttering the mind, and so forth. "But
where does your meditation go when things go bad?" asks Andrew
Holecek. "Where is your spirituality when 'rock meets bone, ' as
they say in Tibet--when the crap hits the fan?" Reverse Meditation
is for anyone who wants to bring the challenges of life onto the
path of awakening. When things get hard, it's time to turn your
practice on its head--and throw out any assumption that meditation
exists to insulate you from the confusion, difficulties, and
uncertainty of life. "By putting your meditation into reverse,"
Holecek teaches, "you'll actually find yourself going forward. Step
into your pain and you can step up your evolution." With his
signature blend of depth and accessibility, Holecek invites you to
explore: - Three core forms of meditation--mindfulness, open
awareness, and the boundary-smashing reverse meditations - How to
know when you're ready to engage with reverse meditation -
On-the-spot practices for snapping into a meditative mindset in
difficult situations - Contraction and expansion--how to dismantle
habits of avoidance to become more open, resilient, and fully alive
- How reverse meditation opens you to a direct experience of the
fundamental perfection of reality--just as it is "These unique
meditations are designed to reverse our relationship to unwanted
experiences, which means going directly into them instead of
avoiding them," says Andrew Holecek. "It's not an easy journey--yet
this path leads to the discovery of unconditional happiness, basic
goodness, and true freedom in the most turbulent situations."
