Do you ever get the feeling that for each problem you face, there is a solution hidden in plain sight? That even if the situation seems impossible, there really is a solution just waiting to be discovered, and that if you had enough experience, or enough patience, or enough presence of mind, you would see it?
There is a natural wisdom available to us. And, there is something preventing us from connecting with it. We can call it “habit”, or “conditioning”, or “autonomic responses”. Whatever we call it, when I consciously refrain from letting those kneejerk reactions take over, a clear naturalness appears and I find my actions are unhurried and organic. These actions bring the best results for me and those around me.
This is the subject for the next chapter I’m adding to the Zen Mindfulness Cloudbook. It’s about an aspect of prajna, what I like to call natural wisdom, and what gets in the way of it. I’ll be sending out an email when the chapter is published – if you’d like to be notified, feel welcome to sign up on the email list.
