Through practice, the heart flowers by integrating mindfulness and metta (loving kindness) and through turning toward our suffering with kind attention and loving acceptance.
What is mindfulness? How does it function and most importantly how does it allow us to be present to our experience and bring about a spacious, non-reactive response to the moment, that facilitates freedom.
What we accept we go beyond: when we bring a kind and non-judging awareness to our experience we align ourselves with the truth of how things are and open to liberating insights that lead to release from suffering.
