 Gaining Insight from Obstacles
Using meditation or therapy to try to shut down parts of our experience is ultimately counterproductive. We do not have to be afraid of entering unfamiliar territory once we have learned how to hold experience within the gentleness of our own minds. Learning to transform obstacles into objects of meditation provides a much needed bridge between the stillness of the concentrated mind and the movement of real life. – Mark Epstein, “Stopping the Wind” |

 Every time life brings you to a crossroads, from the tiniest to the most immense, go toward love, not away from fear. Think of every choice in terms of “What would thrill and delight me?” rather than “What will keep my fear–or the events, people, and things I fear–at bay?”

 Right now, many of us feel an immense shift in the way humans live in this world. That shift, while benevolent, comes from within, rather than from our culture. That means your inner compass will inevitably tell you to break society’s expectations. Maybe that’s happening right now. If not, wait a few minutes. It’s coming.

 Letting life lead IS so very creative–and kind, each and every moment. The voices of ego would have us believe everything has to be huge, special, and larger than life (a fascinating expression), but when we’re truly HERE, we realize that the simplest expression is divinity itself.

 Step into Self-Forgiveness
It will come as no surprise that one of the most difficult people to forgive can be yourself. Yet with patience and gentle determination, it can be done. – Allan Lokos, “Lighten Your Load” |
