Pema Chordon; When Things Fall Apart
“How are we ever going to change anything?”
“Well, it starts with being willing to feel what we are going through. It starts with being willing to have a compassionate relationship with the parts of ourselves that we feel are not worthy of existing on the planet.”
“If we are willing . . to be mindful not only of what feels comfortable, but also of what pain feels like, if we even aspire to stay awake and open to what we’re feeling, to recognize and acknowledge it as best we can in each moment, then something begins to change.”
Relief and gratitude – Let go; there’s no point holding tight to keep it together.
Breathe in, breath out. Repeat.
