As we free ourselves from the suffering of 'something is wrong with me, 'we trust and express the fullness of who we are.'

If you can, do a gratitude practice: Each day write down three things you're grateful for. There are different ways to do this. You can have a gratitude buddy, someone with whom, at the end of the day, you exchange messages listing these three things you are grateful for. Also, you can journal it or reflect on it silently.

As I noticed feelings and thoughts appear and disappear, it became increasingly clear that they were just coming and going on their own. . . . There was no sense of a self owning them.

My understanding is that to love, we need to be able to totally surrender to the living/dying nature of this world.

To open in a loving way is to let awareness notice that tightening.

The most powerful healing arises from the simple intention to love the life within you, unconditionally, with as much tenderness and presence as possible.

If it weren't for desire, the formless would not have come into form and engage creatively.
