Introduction, the level of our expectations have a direct relationship to our level of Self stress.
Expectation Levels
One of our most import human needs is attention. Caring attention is the expression of LOVE. Our expectation for the level of attention, (type & amount) can be unrealistic sometimes. It it at these times that we suffer from the Self stress of high level expectation. The practice of using meditation to inquire into the mind and what is needing attention, leads to more understanding and less stress.
Summary, there are many objects of expectation or types of expectation that we are not consciously aware of. With a open and non-judgmental inquiry we learn much about our own personnel levels of expectation and their level of appropriateness.
About Me
- Stress Meditation
- Ross and his wife live in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, Ontario, Canada. They have two adult children. Ross who now works at the University of Guelph, in 1995 on the advice of his doctor resigned from a career which he had enjoyed for the over 25 years. This came as a result of struggling with many lengthy family illnesses, increased work loads and a physical injury. Sensing that there were better ways to manage these stressors, he began doing yoga and practicing meditation. After attending a weekend insight meditation retreat and experiencing his energy being restored for the next six weeks, he knew that insight meditation was helpful in managing stress. Later,he traveled to a Buddhist retreat centre in Sri Lanka where he was trained by a nun to teach meditation to others. He then returned to Canada and has freely offered support those who are interested in developing meditation skills. He has also examined the scientific approach to understanding stress on the body, heart and mind. His intention is to find simple yet powerful ways of reducing harmful stress, through a blend of western science, eastern philosophy and personal experience.
