mindfulness quality: non-striving/non-doing quote: “enough. these few words are enough. if not these words, this breath. if not this breath, this sitting here. this opening to the life we have refused again and again until now.” - david whyte poem: act of love by bob sharples “don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself. in this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough. it offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot. Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. how endlessly delightful and encouraging.” as always, if you have any questions, feel free to pop them in the comments below. don’t forget to leave an emoji or a comment saying you completed the session so you can be entered for the giveaways. 1 session = 1 entry, 10 sessions = 10 entries. thank you all so much for joining for me for day 4 + see you for day 5 tomorrow! 💛 #mindfulness #meditation #mbsr #presence
