I will interrupt you a lot, that is what meditation does. It interrupts our stories about ourselves and the world around us. I will also listen to you, deeply. That is another way meditation helps, we learn to listen to ourselves deeply. The word akrasia means 'out of control' and is used to describe the way we continue to do things that we know is not in our best interest, or don't do things that we know are in our best interest. Most people feel relief just to know there is word for it. The cause of akrasia is said to be a lack of information and meditation gives us access to the information we need to change.
As a therapist trained in both Gestalt therapy and EMDR, as well as being a Zen koan meditation teacher, I offer a unique blend of modalities for helping to cultivate the habit of paying attention. I begin and end each session with a few moments of silent meditation.
It is hard work, but you will feel more alive for the effort. You will develop a skill that you can take home with you. I require that you either have a meditation practice, or are willing to start one, or, be willing to discover that you already have one.
