You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

Loving ourselves opens us to truly knowing ourselves as part of the matrix of existence, inextricably connected to the boundlessness of life... when we see that we are far bigger than the person that is delineated by family or cultural expectations, we realize we are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.

You don't have to believe anything, adopt a dogma in order to learn how to meditate.

With the practice of meditation we can develop this ability to more fully love ourselves and to more consistently love others.

I've spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion.

I've always said that lovingkindness and compassion are inevitably woven throughout meditation practice even if the words are never used or implied, no matter what technique or method we are using.

Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.
