"wisdom does not inspect, but behold. We must look a long time before we can see." - Henry David Thoreau. The willingness and capacity to feel vulnerable and respond to oneself with kindness is a sacred gateway to being a true human being and to live this earthly life with dignity and depth of being. The practice of meditation is to behold oneself.

Tara Brach

This meditation cultivates a gentle, wakeful presence in the body, with the “smile down” and then guides us to resting in a home base of sensations or the breath. We then open to whatever arises with a clear and inclusive attention, saying Yes to the life that is here.

Sally Armstrong
Download Listen
Patience is one of the paramis, the 10 beautiful qualities of the heart/mind that we develop in our sincere practice. Patience is essential if we are to deepen in meditation, especially on long retreats, as it allows us to be present when things are difficult or not exciting, which can be a lot of the time! True patience not just tolerance, a willingness to put up with things until they get better. Patience is a full body experience, a commitment to being present with care and acceptance. Patience brings with it many other wholesome factors such as contentment and equanimity.
