Being Flexible

“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”

— Lao Tzu

In your practice today, consider this: strength comes from patience and humility. You must live compassionately, toward yourself and others, in order to achieve peace. Namaste.

Relaxing the Mind

"If you work with your mind, instead of trying to change everything on the outside…that’s how your temper will cool down."

-Pema Chodron

Today, in meditation, sit quietly with yourself. Be gentle. Discover where there is tension, and where there is ease. See if you can let go.
