Feel the wounded heart that's underneath the addiction, self-loathing, or anger.

Feel the feelings and drop the story.

Even if you don't feel appreciation, just look. Feel what you feel; take an interest and be curious.

Our patterns are well established, seductive, and comforting. Just wanting for them to be ventilated isn't enough. Those of us who struggle with this know.

There's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.

Being satisfied with what we already have is a magical golden key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspired way.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic-this is the spiritual path.
