As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.
Sharon SalzbergThe movement of the heart as we practice generosity in the outer world mirrors the movement of the heart when we let go of conditioned views about ourselves on our inner journey. Letting go creates a joyful sense of space in our minds
Sharon SalzbergCompassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.
Sharon SalzbergMeditation is not a matter of trying to stop thinking or make your mind go blank but rather to realize when your attention is wandering and to simply let go of the thoughts and begin again. It is a way of changing our relationship to our thoughts, so we're not so consumed by them, with no sense of space. Having a newly spacious relationship to our thoughts brings both peace and freedom.
