“In the same way as when we swim in the ocean, there is no way to do anything to the waves around us, only to be within them & navigate ourselves accordingly;

we have the same capacity to grow mindfulness in ways which offer us the opportunity to respond to our inner & outer experiences with gentleness, rather than reacting on impulse.

This in turn can offer us relief from overly critical cultural & societal conditioning.

By giving ourselves permission to mindfully flow through life, we can more easily open ourselves to connection & play; while holding the awareness that everything we encounter in our lives is impermanent.”
