Change

Sri Chinmoy:


"Yesterday I was smart and I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise and I want to change myself."

Paradoxical theory

The paradoxical theory of change says that change comes about as a result of full acceptance of what is, rather than a striving to be different.

Acceptance

Tara Brach:


"The way out of our cage begins with accepting absolutely everything about ourselves and our lives, by embracing with wakefulness and care our moment-to-moment experience. By accepting absolutely everything, what I mean is that we are aware of what is happening within our body and mind in any given moment, without trying to control or judge or pull away. I do not mean that we are putting up with harmful behavior—our own or another’s. This is an inner process of accepting our actual present-moment experience. It means feeling sorrow and pain without resisting. It means feeling desire or dislike for someone or something without judging ourselves for the feeling or being driven to act on it."

Beingness

Inoma:


Beingness is naked and beautiful always. Words and names are like clothes, sometimes practical.

The wonder of balance

Andrew Olendzki:

"We are so used to projecting our attention out into the world around us, it is a noticeable shift when we face inward and feel the subtle swaying of the head on the shoulders, along with all the muscular microcompensations keeping our body centered in gravity. The acrobat, like the meditator, is bringing conscious awareness to a process that is always occurring but is generally overlooked, which is a vital first step to learning anything valuable about ourselves."
