    Omega in NYC

    By Jennifer Egert, Ph.D.
    Recently, I spent the weekend at OMEGA in NYC, hearing Jack Kornfeld, Tara Brach and Mark Epstein discuss Eastern and Western psychology. Several times over the weekend, Jack and Tara brought up the idea that we are all lost in stories about ourselves, our history, and others. These stories serve to separate us from one another and cover up an “unlived life” beneath the chatter. This quote was shared and sums it up:

    “I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” –Mark Twain

    Thought for the week: What stories do I tell myself about my life or who I am? Can I begin to loosen my grip around some of these stories that cover up an unlived life?
