 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. |

 Sustained personal truth-telling will gradually cleanse your inner life. This, by the way, is what happens in good therapy: Each week a perceptive professional helps you admit to the real forces behind your actions. As you start to see your inner motivations more clearly, you begin relating differently to the world around you.

 Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

 Love requires connection between lover and beloved, and empathy is the quiet miracle by which this connection is forged. When you share others’ suffering, you also share their experience of receiving your gift–the gift of being accompanied into grief or anguish rather than bearing it alone.

 At Home with Ourselves
Simply watching also allows us to stop struggling: to stop trying so hard to accomplish, to prove ourselves, to measure up–to cover over whatever sense of lack we might have. It may be frightening when we first stop struggling; we’ve become accustomed to this way of being, and feel anxious about leaving the comfort of the familiar. But when we stop the struggle, we then have the space to be at home with ourselves. – Ezra Bayda, “Reflect, Without Thinking” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Searching for Self
This mind that we identify as the self, which we could call ego-mind, controls everything we do. Yet it can’t actually be found–which is somewhat spooky, as if a ghost were managing our home. The house seems to be empty, but all the housework has been done. The bed has been made, our shoes have been polished, the tea has been poured, and the breakfast has been cooked. – Dzigar Kongtrül Rinpoche, “Searching for Self” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
