It is our commitment to wholeness that matters, the willingness to unfold in every deep aspect of our being.

Everybody needs to take some time, in some way, to quiet themselves and really listen to their heart.

The wholeness and freedom we seek is our true nature, who we really are.

Refraining from false speech: speech from the heart. Undertake for one week not to gossip (positively or negatively) or speak about anyone you know who is not present with you (any third party).

In opening we can see how many times we have mistaken small identities and fearful beliefs for our true nature and how limiting this is. We can touch with great compassion the pain from the contracted identities that we and others have created in the world.

The emotional wisdom of the heart is simple. When we accept our human feelings, a remarkable transformation occurs. Tenderness and wisdom arise naturally and spontaneously. Where we once sought strength over others, now our strength becomes our own; where we once sought to defend ourselves, we laugh.

At the end of our life our questions are simple: Did I live fully? Did I love well?
