156 – Ebb and Flow in Buddhist Practice: Cycles of Energy, Inspiration, and Focus

The Zen Studies Podcast

You can expect your Buddhist practice to go through a cycle of ebb and flow in terms of energy, inspiration, and focus. At times, hopefully, you feel motivated and determined, and experience a period of learning and growth. Then there will inevitably be periods where your practice loses momentum. It may feel dull or aimless, or you may fall back into old, not-so-healthy habits. It's important you don't give up practice in times of low ebb, but instead recognize this as part of a natural cycle.
