Mini Meditation: Balancing Tenderness and Ferocity

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Google Podcasts | RSS

There are 3 guiding principles I incorporate into my meditation practice to help guide me in the ongoing balance of making tender choices and tough choices to best support my ultimate intentions:

Listening: "To listen is to continually give up all expectations and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear." {from Mark Nepo}⁠

Courage: In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."  {from Brene Brown}⁠

FIERCE Compassion: What is the action that moves me in the direction of my ultimate intention? {from Dr. Kristen Neff}
