We struggle with all the things we have to DO. We struggle with DOING our spiritual practice. What is the struggle? What is the Doing that we invest in and feel to be hard work? This talk explores both the doing that we find ourselves stuck in, and the natural unfolding of experience that we can recognize, allowing us the freedom of being where we can be at rest and ease, even in the midst of busy lives and much apparent doing.

This talk explores three essential qualities of awareness: the precision and brightness of moment-to-moment connection, the investigation of experience through Curiousity, and the allowing of things to unfold with Care. These aspects, which in free translation correspond with the qualities of Samatha, Vipassana and Metta are shown to be both qualities we can cultivate, and the natural orientation of the truly meditative mind.
