Don’t meditate to get rid of challenging feelings, meditate to be be a safe loving presence alongside them.

We can’t trick ourselves when it comes to self love and self acceptance.

When there is a part of us that needs to be felt and allowed, it will know if we are just counting the minutes until it hopefully feels better.

We split off from aspects of ourself, because we don’t want to feel them. They get locked away and told they are unacceptable, unlovable.

It is only when we are willing to be with all our feelings with loving kindness, that we can free our heart.

The most healing thing to do in any moment is to relax compassionately with whatever is happening inside you, not needing to change yourself.

Being kind, accepting and patient with our inner experience is the first and most powerful key to our healing.

In the end it’s all about love. And love is a forgiving, stable force, present no matter what emotion we’re feeling.

When we’re truly relaxed and kind with our process, we also gain the wisdom to look after others better.

A thought is just that; a thought.

Without us plugging into to them, thoughts have no power on their own.

And then even when we do plug into them, there a certain laws to manifestation, and the law of attraction is not simply a direct translation of our mind.

If that were the case, every child that feared a monster was under their bed at night, would have been eaten already.

Thoughts can create conflict and reality, only when we give them the energy of our consciousness; of our interest and our belief.

If we can see a thought as just that, a thought, then we can flick it off, like a flea, before it has any chance to bite.

Send it back whence it came. From the ether, back to the ether. Let the collective mind swallow it up again. It doesn’t even need to belong to us.
