| Dear *[FNAME]*: |
 |
| To feel is a verb; it is something that happens. We all feel. Emotion is a noun, a thing. To feel is beautiful, belonging to both the animal and human condition. When we allow feelings to harden and coalesce into emotions, which we transport like overburdened slaves, we deny ourselves life’s freshness, it’s ever present potential for renewal and transformation.
– B.K.S. Iyengar, Daily Peace Quote |

| Pure Freedom
The practice of generosity is the practice of freedom, and it carries with it all the joy and pleasure that are associated with liberation. Indeed, there may be no greater sense of fulfillment in life than the simultaneous feelings of human interconnection and pure freedom that arise from an authentic act of selfless generosity. – Dale S. Wright, “The Bodhisattva’s Gift” |

| Dear *[FNAME]*: |
 |
| Dear One, I have good news and bad news. However you’re feeling right now, this too shall pass. In fact, if you let yourself purely feel the emotion without complicating it with language, whatever you feel will most likely end in about ninety seconds. If you’re sad, it’s fleeting. (Phew!) If you’re blissed out, it won’t last either. (Bummer.) If you’re enraged, it will move through you. (Grrrrr.) If you’re bursting with obsessively romantic fervor, the crush will fade. (Sigh . . .) Find comfort in this, darling. States are fleeting, but it’s possible to have a deeper level of joy that is not dependent on transient states. When you’re not grasping for feelings you like and resisting feelings you don’t like, you’re more likely to find gratitude in the moment for whatever experience of human emotion you’re blessed to feel right now. Don’t like how you feel in this present moment? Don’t worry. I’m here with you every ninety seconds. Nothing lasts but me, Your Inner Pilot Light – Lissa Rankin, MD, Your Inner Pilot Light |

 How Do You Relate to the World?
Stretching our capacity for loving-friendliness sometimes requires that we make a great sacrifice–but what we sacrifice are our comfort, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. In other words, we sacrifice our old way of relating to the world. – Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, “Overcoming Ill Will” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Opening to Vulnerability
Relationships work to open us up to ourselves. But first we have to admit how much we don’t want that to happen, because that means opening ourselves to vulnerability. Only then will we begin the true practice of letting ourselves experience all those feelings of vulnerability that we first came to practice to escape. – Barry Magid, “No Gain” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for August 02, 2019
 When you begin to inquire into the operation of your own mind, when you observe your own thinking, your daily activities and feelings, you cannot be taught because there is no one to teach you. You cannot base your inquiry on any authority, on any assumption, on any previous knowledge. If you do, then you are merely conforming to the pattern of what you already know, and therefore you are no longer learning about yourself.
