Join Meryl each week for a brief talk and meditation focused on how to live our lives more mindfully, easily, and happily.
Meryl Arnett, E-RYT 500 and co-owner of Sacred Chill {West}, has been teaching in Atlanta since 2010. Her passion is introducing mindfulness in ways that are accessible to all of us. She has taught meditation to Fortune 500 companies, from the floor of Phillips Arena, at festivals across the city, and she helped create the first yoga + meditation studio in Atlanta to offer regular, independent meditation classes. Teaching over 300 hours of meditation each year, Meryl continues to study and practice daily with teachers she respects deeply, including Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Susan Piver, and Yoganand Michael Carroll. Off the mat, she loves to spend time in the mountains with her family camping, hiking and marshmallow roasting.

Awakening Part 3 of 3 {Renunciation}

Traditionally, renunciation meant relinquishing all material comforts, desires, and relationships in the interest of spiritual enlightenment. And, while we don't need to go to those extremes, I've found it incredibly helpful on my own path to occasionally ask, "what can I give up in support of my practice?"
This question was first posed to me by my meditation teacher, Susan Piver, and I thought about it for days... Was it supposed to be something concrete like giving up gluten or TV or wine? Was it supposed to be more ethereal like letting go of judgment, expectations, self-doubt...?
In the end, where I landed was that there is no "supposed to be" here. There is no right answer. There is only YOUR answer. What can you give up in support of your practice?
Join me for this brief talk {there is a pretty specific breakdown of what we are actually "doing" in meditation near minute 4:30) and 20-minute meditation experience.
