ZC 2117: Tricycle Week: Making Life Your Practice by Ken McLeod
Manage episode 489233260 series 2394351
On Day Five of our special Tricycle Week, we explore the article "Making Life Your Practice" by Ken McLeod—a deeply practical and inspiring reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t just happen on the cushion. This piece reframes our everyday experiences—both the mundane and the messy—as the very terrain of awakening.
In today’s episode, I reflect on McLeod’s powerful encouragement to drop the divide between “practice time” and “real life.” Whether we’re standing in line, facing conflict, or simply washing dishes, every moment holds the potential to wake us up. When we bring awareness, presence, and intention to our daily activities, life itself becomes our path.
What You’ll Learn:
How to dissolve the boundary between meditation and daily life
Why ordinary moments can be powerful vehicles for transformation
How to bring clarity, compassion, and mindfulness into everything you do
