Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.

I would say to women, always question what you're empowering yourself for and what are you claiming power for.

Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.

Life is like a school; one can learn, one can graduate, one can skip a grade or stay behind.

I think it's better that people actually are saying what they feel. Especially, people are saying, I'm not heard. I don't have a voice in America.

Our errors and failings are chinks in the heart's armor through which our true colors can shine.

When women hear each other's stories, told from the heart, it gives us inspiration to keep on going.
