January 14, 2018

THE FOUR PILLARS

1. RETREAT – Broadly defined.
2. LIFE PRACTICE – A.S.I.A., For each Practice Day:
a. ANALYZE – What’s going on with you, what does your day hold?
b. STRATEGIZE – What techniques can you choose, what’s the mode:
Formal, Informal, Drop (?), Micro Hits, Situation, Duration, Motion,
etc.
c. INSPIRE – Goes to motivation... “Make practice inspiring rather
than onerous.”
d. ASSESS – Assess how the day went with regard to practice. Does
this leave you with a jumping off point for the following day? What
did you learn that you can apply or possibly not apply another
time?
3. SUPPORT – Pier to Pier...... Teacher to Pier, etc.
4. GIVE SUPPORT – In what ways can you support your fellow meditator?
