How do we cultivate the conditions for joy to expand? We train in staying present.
We're not trying to be something we aren't; rather, we're reconnecting with who we are.
Deep down in the human spirit, there is a reservoir of courage. It is always available, always waiting to be discovered.
Just where you are-that's the place to start!
Feel the wounded heart that's underneath the addiction, self-loathing, or anger.
Meditation takes us just as we are, with our confusion and our sanity. This complete acceptance of ourselves as we are is called maitri, or unconditional friendliness, a simple, direct relationship with the way we are.
