The Path of Practice

The Buddha offers an intricate, ancient map and training - like a path through a wild forest - to support your unique track to maturation/evolution. There is so much on offer! It can be a lot to navigate on your own. And it can be confusing where to start.

This is an evolving, non-linear process and we each walk it in our own way.

I’ve been distilling my learning of the Buddha’s maps, through my own trial and error - as a woman living, working, creating, loving in the world for the last thirty years.

On this page you will find my tracking of one path of practice, then excerpts and maps to support you to explore these areas in more depth.

These practices expand your capacity to feel safe in your own skin - a mammalian safety - to find a place of ease, protection, belonging. Ever deepening ‘modes of being’ are explored. This gives nourishment (we all need it) to create the ground for our discernment to arise.

Once we settle we have a whole lot more space to see clearly what’s in our field of attention. You are supported to explore different ways of seeing and to embody insights (written like freedom tattoos in the original teachings) that free-up and loosen experience.

Through creating more internal groundedness and space, we can see all the others more directly - human and more-than-human - around us. Heart practices grow our capacity to compassionately respond to ourselves and others, cutting through apathy.

As the training continues there is less separation between our inner and outer worlds, and more openness and less reactivity to what’s around us. Our practice is wherever we are, and includes all aspects of our lives - our work, relationships, physicality, country, our intimacy.

Supporting your unique path

All the training here is to support you to make practice your own. We become supported by these ancient maps and reference points, to live with less fear, to pursue our lives with courage.
