TO FORGIVE

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have someone you need to forgive?
  • Can you find the strength to do so?
  • What will it take to forgive?

GIVE IT A TRY

“It’s impossible, said pride. It’s risky, said experience. It’s pointless, said reason. Give it a try, whispered the heart.” 

Anonymous

REFLECTION:

  • What is your heart whispering to you?
  • Can you stop to listen?
  • What is one action you can take to move closer to your hearts desire?

THE REFUGE WITHIN

There is a secret place. A radiant sanctuary. This magnificent refuge is inside you. Be brave and walk through the country of your own wild heart.  Be gentle and know that you know nothing.  Be still and listen, keep walking. No one else controls access to this perfect place. Give yourself your own unconditional permission to go there. Waste no time.  Enter the center of your soul.

Poem THE REFUGE WITHIN By St. Teresa of Avila as read by Tara Brach and her podcast:  Equanimity: The Gifts of Non-Reactive Mindful Presence

REFLECTION:

  • How often to you visit the sanctuary inside you?
  • Are you able to be still and listen to your heart?
  • What does your heart want you to know?
  • How can you act on that wisdom today?
