Mindfulness Is A Pause - The Space

The Intimacy That Arises In Listening And Speaking Truth Is Only Possible If We Can Open To The Vulnerability Of Our Own Hearts. Breathing In, Contacting The Life That Is Right Here, Is Our First Step. Once We Have Held Ourselves With Kindness, We Can Touch Others In A Vital And Healing Way.

To Me, Bringing Mindfulness-bas Ed Practices To Students, Teachers And Parents Is Some Of The Most Important Work We Can Be Doing. If We Can Help The Next Generation Become More Self-aware, Empathetic And Emotionally Resilient, They Will Bring Their Wisdom To Healing The Earth And Creating A More Peaceful World.

When We Put Down Ideas Of What Life Should Be Like, We Are Free To Wholeheartedly Say Yes To Our Life As It Is.

Feeling Compassion For Ourselves In No Way Releases Us From Responsibility For Our Actions. Rather, It Releases Us From The Self-hatred That Prevents Us From Responding To Our Life With Clarity And Balance.

If Our Hearts Are Ready For Anything, We Can Open To Our Inevitable Losses, And To The Depths Of Our Sorrow. We Can Grieve Our Lost Loves, Our Lost Youth, Our Lost Health, Our Lost Capacities. This Is Part Of Our Humanness, Part Of The Expression Of Our Love For Life.
