It feels so good when your definition of success is - spirit led - mission driven - rooted in doing the inner work - being heart centered - listening to your intuition - rather than trying to follow gimmicks, trends and tropes that are here one day gone the next.

One of the hardest things to do is to see ourselves in others, to recognize the humanity around us. When we find ourselves stuck in judgement we can ask: “what would have to happen in my life to cause me to behave like this person I’m judging?” This is a step toward compassion.

White people are really making anti-Chinese jokes because of this outbreak as if their ancestors didn’t spread catastrophic diseases everywhere because they didn’t know how to bathe

There are tender hearts everywhere - inside ourselves and inside others. Obscured by worry and fear, stories and conditioning. Our practice in meditation is to drop into this gentle place. Our practice in life is to connect through that space with the tenderness of others.

May you be loved.

EMPATHY IS FREE. BEING EMPATHETIC IS AFFORDABLE. BEING EMPATHETIC IS THE MOST HUMANE THING YOU COULD DO.

Meditation can be very simple - simply sitting, simply breathing, simply paying attention to the experience of being you. When we feel we’ve failed or can’t do it, we’re adding some rigid rule that doesn’t belong and we can breathe, let go and just be very natural with ourselves.

Compassion doesn’t say, “I’m with you because I pity you” or “because I feel sorry for you.” Instead the message of compassion is an acknowledgment of our shared humanity. It says, “I’m with you because I am you - I recognize you in me, and me in you. And we’re in this together.”

Blessings to everyone who has ever believed they were too sensitive, that their sensitivity was a curse or that something was wrong with them because they feel the world differently than the majority of people.

A Highly Sensitive Person(HSP) picks up more sensory information(smell, color, body language, facial expressions, moods, energy). We have very sensitive nervous systems, we process our environment more in depth and spend more time in our emotional(limbic) brain than logical brain

Happiness and success are all in our minds. You can be happy just looking at a beautiful sky. You can think you were successful when you baked a great loaf of bread.

Love is the only energy we can rely on. And all of us have known it since birth, because it is the only energy and protection that kept us going. Breathing is one of the ways we give ourselves that energy, and give others too.
