Demobilization || The Do Nothing Project with Jeff Warren

Meditation starts at: 06:01 Meditation length: 25m58 (31:59) So often, we're in the highly activated, "waiting mobilize" mode. In the Do Nothing Project, we are all about tuning in to the rested qualities of having "nowhere to go, nothing to do." This process is a kind of demobilization. We explore that in this episode! Jeff is currently reading this, which he mentions near the end: "How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain" by Lisa Feldman Barrett https://lisafeldmanbarrett.com/books/... ========================== What is the Do Nothing Project all about? This is an experiment in doing … not much. Together. Every Sunday at 8pm EST, Jeff will come on his YouTube page, badly lit, maybe a bit disheveled. Or there will be a guest host. He’ll say some words of greeting, and then guide a 25-minute meditation that you can feel free to ignore. The time can be used to meditate, or doodle, or to stare vacantly into space repeating ‘the humanity, the humanity.’ The whole thing has a nice community feel, with people from around the world accomplishing nothing together. If you miss a broadcast (like maybe you have a “job”), it will be archived on this YouTube channel, so you can watch it later, on your own timeline. “A certain amount of ordinary laziness would lend our culture the pleasant mellowness which it singularly lacks.” – Alan Watts If you want to receive email reminders every week about the next Do Nothing broadcast, you can subscribe to this list. http://eepurl.com/ghljtv ************************************************************************ Being human takes practice.
