One Simple Step to Freedom, Health & Happiness

The Feast is an annual 40-day worldwide spiritual practice immersion—a virtual intensive—during which people of all ages from all traditions make a commitment to practice deeply and expand their awareness. The Feast is observed each year on January 15th and concludes on February 23rd. Tens of thousands of people worldwide participate in the Feast every year.  The Feast aims to offer support for one’s daily spiritual practice and to create a community of people supporting one another. Each year we’d like to increase participation, as peace is obviously a priority on this planet. We make the wide variety of teachings, meditations, and spiritual discourses collected from a myriad of religious and spiritual traditions available to the general public at no cost, 24/7 365 days a year via the website: www.FeastfortheSoul.org.  We are a not for profit organization run by volunteers.

One Simple Step To Freedom, Health &amp; Happiness taught by acclaimed UK mindfulness teacher, Shaun GlossopA two-hour workshop that explores the underlying essence of meditation as being the skill of moving out of Small Mind (the constricted, ego-centric, analytical mind - which operates by comparison and measurement) into Big Mind (the spaciousness and expansiveness of Pure Awareness - in which we experience the freedom and joy of simply being the &#x27;Relaxed Witness&#x27;).T﻿his workshop will be recorded if you are unable to attend. In the course of our time together we will look at how:•	Small Mind is driven by a need to control - making life stressful and anxiety based when we engage with the world through Small Mind - while Big Mind is content to observe, watch and experience, allowing things to be just as they are.•	Small Mind perceives time as a linear progression (past, present and future) while Big Mind perceives time as &#x27;the Eternal Now&#x27; in which all events simply unfold.•	Small Mind runs on &quot;story&quot; - turning our experience into a narrative, with us as the central character (which is a useful analytical device, but which can give rise to excessive self-absorption and misplaced self-importance) - while Big Mind focuses on the &quot;bigger picture&quot; (resulting in a profound sense of connection and belonging).•	Small Mind&#x27;s obsession with comparison and measurement sets us up to live from a place of deficit and lack, while Big Mind&#x27;s appreciation of things as they are moves us into a mind-set of abundance and gratitude.We will look at how both Small Mind and Big Mind are available to us as an inherent part of our human nature, but how Small Mind tends to act as our &quot;default setting&quot; while the movement into Big Mind always has to be a conscious and deliberate choice.During the workshop we will learn some simple skills and techniques that enable us to un-hook from Small Mind and move quickly and effortlessly into Big Mind - giving us instant access to relaxation, calm, serenity and inner-peace.S﻿haun Glossop is a meditation and mindfulness teacher based in the UK.
