As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.

What you learn about pain in formal meditation can help you relate to it in your daily life.

By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.

To cherish others is to cherish ourselves. To cherish ourselves is to cherish others. And in that same way, we relate to the truth. If we support it, if we embrace it, if we uphold it, we will be embraced by it, we will be supported and upheld by it.

If we fall, we don't need self-recrimination or blame or anger - we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to re-commit, to be whole-hearted once again.

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

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.
