Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as it is.

If our hearts are ready for anything, we are touched by the beauty and poetry and mystery that fill our world.

With the first out breath, you are releasing worries, plans, mental tensions. With the second out breath, you are releasing physical tightness and tension. With the third out breath, you are releasing difficult emotions.

I decided to write 'True Refuge' during a major dive in my own health. Diagnosed with a genetic disease that affected my mobility, I faced tremendous fear and grief about losing the fitness and physical freedom I loved.

Everything we love goes. So to be able to grieve that loss, to let go, to have that grief be absolutely full, is the only way to have our heart be full and open.

Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as it is.

Imperfection is not our personal problem - it is a natural part of existing.
