Summary

In practice there is an invitation to shift from the real-time experiences to the spacious and open heart of wisdom, ease, and graciousness. Through dedication to our practice we begin to find the trust necessary to remain present no matter the circumstance.

The awakened mind and heart are awaiting you, asking only that you make the effort to acknowledge their presence.
