Wonderful 3 day mindfulness retreat @greatmahakala retreat house. 13 of us explored finding true refuge within and creating a safe presence for ourselves and the world. So grateful for this opportunity to be in this sacred peaceful space with our Sangha! #WBMindfulness #peaceinourselvespeaceintheworld #truerefuge #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #compassion #wisdom #lovingkindnessmeditation #soundhealing #gentleyoga #spiritualfriends #deliciousvegetarianfood #yoganidra #buddhadharmasangha #retreatinmiami https://www.instagram.com/p/CakMrMTO62G/?utm_medium=tumblr

...then we would see the living person and a heart to heart connection becomes a possibility. This is the opening of the wise heart mind that goes beyond the small self and the guarded heart. It’s a freeing possibility 🙏❤️#possibility #thefourdivineabodes #truerefuge https://www.instagram.com/p/B2K-d8NnPH6/?igshid=1g93wi4wwiinm

I need to read this some days more than others, especially when there is so much sadness, and words and acts of violence...one can easily get caught up in anger and helplessness...so some days I read this as a prayer of self care, balance and hope, a loving reminder to keep coming back to this heart, to this practice that is a true refuge. #truerefuge #thichnhathanh #wiseadvice #dharma #practicepracticepractice #mindfulness #meditation #wbmindfulness #kindness #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMcUrZH7mw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rojgnirnkhmk

Reflection for today “Whatever technique one is using, remember that the spirit of practice is more important than the technique. Finding a way to enjoy just sitting is key. Sitting meditation is a refuge, not a test.” —Narayan Liebenson Grady, “The Refuge of Sitting” #sittingmeditation #truerefuge #mindfulness #compassion #clearseeing #awareness #wbmindfulness #buddhadharmasangha https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIyQpknAtk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m5gicdbwmg6y

Regular meditation practice creates new pathways in our mind, ones that carry us home to the clarity, openness, and ease of presence. #TrueRefuge https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8ufjYH4hP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jo5qoohsa71v

"Meditation students often ask me what will help them remember presence in the thick of things. My first response: “Just pause.” My second response: “Pause again, take a few conscious breaths, and relax.” Our lives are constantly tumbling into the future, and the only way back to here and now is to stop. Even a few moments of suspended activity, a mini-meditation of just being still, can reconnect you with a sense of aliveness and caring. That connection will deepen if, during those moments, you intentionally establish contact with your body, breathe, and relax. #TrueRefuge @tarabrach #themindfulvegan #love #meditation
