We can let go of the burden of so much of what we habitually carry with us and receive the gift of the present moment.” @sharonsalzberg.bsky.social

Paying attention in this way provides the gift of noticing, the gift of connecting. We find the gift of seeing a little bit of ourselves in others, of realizing that we’re not so awfully alone.

because a more complete attention proffers many special gifts. These gifts can penetrate through the exigencies of social roles and even through terrible hurt. They can remove the seeming hollowness of chance encounters.

💓 “Sometimes, practicing loving-kindness will feel very ordinary, very dry, or very mechanical…What’s important is to do it, is to form that intention in the mind because we’re uniting the power of loving-kindness and the power of intention.” – www.mindful.org/loving-kindn...
