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.

When we practice metta, we open continuously to the truth of our actual experience, changing our relationship to life.

True happiness is born of letting go of what is unnecessary.

Love and concern for all are not things some of us are born with and others are not. Rather, they are results of what we do with our minds: We can choose to transform our minds so that they embody love, or we can allow them to develop habits and false concepts of separation.

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

Its never too late to take a moment to look.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.
