The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free her/ himself is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness.
Tara BrachThe way to develop the habit of savoring is to pause when something is beautiful and good and catches our attention - the sound of rain, the look of the night sky - the glow in a child's eyes, or when we witness some kindness. Pause... then totally immerse in the experience of savoring it.
Tara BrachWhen we put down ideas of what life should be like, we are free to wholeheartedly say yes to our life as it is.

Only by listening inwardly in a fresh and open way will you discern at any given time what most serves your healing and freedom.
