When we turn to our innate wisdom for the harmony of mind and gut, we heal the entrance to the heart as it seeks to beat in rhythm with the world.
Stephen LevineThat which is impermanent attracts compassion. That which is not provides wisdom. (116)
Stephen LevineIf you were going to die soon and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?
Stephen LevineGratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness at another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn't stop there.
