Meditation: What Are We Doing Here, by Dr Jed Blore

Andrew Tootell's OzZen Podcast

This guided meditation presented by Dr Jed Blore invites an exploration of three interrelated questions: 'what are we doing?’, ‘why are we doing it? (or: 'why does it matter?)’, and, 'what are we hoping to gain?’. The exploration continues with an invitation to connect with a spacious, open awareness that is accepting of our ‘gaining ideas’ alongside the rest of our experience (thinking, feeling, sensing). The meditation ends with a reading of the poem ‘Relax’ by Ellen Bass, which reinforces the reality of suffering whilst highlighting the joy that is available to us in our daily lives.
