In this episode Lisa and Frank talk about “identifying as” or "resting as awareness." Frank suggests “identifying as awareness” goes back to the “who are you” question. Interesting questions arise such as, Are you your thoughts? Are you your conditioning? Are you your situation or are you the awareness of those things? He adds that is why we are exploring awareness and meditating so we can have the realization that you can “identify as awareness” and “rest as awareness.” Resting as awareness changes everything. You're turning in and tuning in to the Awareness where stress doesn't even exist - finding what's true is the present moment right here inside! Lisa shares a story from a book by Oriah mountain dreamer, where the author was annoyed by a questioning retreat participant, and wonders if Frank is also annoyed by her questions, but ultimately it’s about what we all may be looking for on this journey, including a consideration of the unity of all beings, concluding with the thought "act out of Love...no matter what.”- from the bottom up. This episode also includes a guided Body Scan mindful awareness meditation.
