The Bewilderment of What to Do in Times Like These and the Practice of Tonglen

There is no shame in needing help

Times like these can trigger so many things for us personally. Is that you too? What’s happening in the world is also happening in you and me. It seems like in spiritual circles a successful practice means you don’t feel things. But the more I practice the more I realize that it’s my tender-hearted broken-openness I love the most. My need to care and be cared for is valuable and meaningful. That I feel our shared humanity is something I love. It’s okay to be someone who feels deeply.

Hi. This was originally written Nov 2016. We were in interesting times and always, there is a personal relation to those times. Wanted to share here again, it feels so relevant. Hugs, Robin I’ve been spending a lot of time in quiet. Trying to get my bearings, waiting for the ride to slow. I’m reminding myself to breathe, to soften. Giving myself the little extras.

Honoring what is (vs. pushing the plan)

I woke up this morning with my goals in mind Meditate, do my practices, eat yummy breakfast, take a walk, work a little in the garden and then write this week’s post (I was going to tell you about the wildest miracle manifesting story I have ever experienced firsthand), then see some awesome clients in the afternoon, and then dinner with my husband.
