Mindfulness reminder:
That which knows there is anger or frustration, is not that which is angry or frustrated.
The part of me that knows there is breathing happening, that is not the breath itself.

Do you have receipts for your feelings? Do you really own them? They are so fleeting, and you should realize that they are not yours. They are not a real part of YOU, they are public property which you are misappropriating.

Identity formed among others is important for motivation. If you do not belong to a group; a society, place, or culture, than for whom will you be the hero? About who will you care enough to give selflessly of your energy? Even your own species is a group. #bethehero #identity #findyourpurpose

When you find a part of yourself that feels weird or brings feelings of shame or guilt, it is important to not turn away, but to sit with the feeling for a moment. What does it want? Where does it belong in your life?

With increase in acceptance of various nutritional supplements as a necessary component of health, one needs to be mindful of their quality. The supplement industry is poorly regulated for what is supposed to provide.

No person can be a burden on a society because society at its root is about helping people. If we don't have a society where we help each other, then what's the point of organizing humans in any way at all?

Being in masculine energy is having the courage to do the things that must be done in order to preserve whatever hard lines you have drawn. Hardness and compassion can coexist; the "hard line" is in regards to the compassion of life. 🧵1/3

We over intend. We have so much power that we stumble over it, taking our own myriad possibilities for granted. So do not be so quick to discount the smaller intentions of all that life that is thriving around you when you are seemingly alone.

Do not be afraid of this life-abundance that surrounds you. You are a part of it as well in any case. Embrace the diverse vibrancy of this universal body; feel its flow and sense its wonders.

On my recent visit to the mountains, I took a less-traveled trail. It led through a faerie city, and I was only able to walk without slipping or catching on branches after I promised not to take any more photos.

Both 'masculine' and 'feminine' polarities must be activated for a healthy energy balance.
A pragmatic courage is needed, in order to step into one's self-power and create change in their reality. While also a loving acceptance must be in place to make space for that creation.

When we are meditating, and a thought intrudes upon the calm, we have self-conpadsion, and simply begin again with the practice. Let the undesirable moment slip away and return to control and peace.

When we are examining an emotion that is hindering our life, there are two ways one can become "liberated" from the grip of the difficult emotion.
