Radical Transformation
Through Mindfulness & Loving Kindness
Mindfulness is the practice of keeping your mind focused, your breath steady, and your heart calm. It fosters the development of quiet yet alert mind, wisdom and compassion. As you become calm and your heart still, you are able to look into the true nature of things. Mindfulness is not about suppressing pain. In fact, it is the opposite. Mindfulness helps us turn toward a deeper place of authentic present-moment feelings, thoughts, needs and resources. Through a calm heart and still mind, we are able to touch the painful spots in our life.
Mindfulness is the powerful practice of looking deeply into our pain leading the way for understanding, compassion and loving kindness. It is through loving kindness, that we are finally able to transform the seeds of suffering in to peace and joyousness. In the East, mindfulness has been a primary tool of spiritual exploration for thousands of years. In the West, it is being increasingly employed as a fundamental healing modality.
 “May you be held in the heart of lovingkindness
May you be free from inner and outer harm
May you be well
May you have ease of well being
May your life be of service to all beings
May you come to know great and natural peace
May you awaken and be free”
