Ram Dass Quotes
“I
think in relationships, you create an environment with your own work
on yourself, which you offer to another human being to use to
grow in the way they need to grow. You keep working – you become
the soil – moist and soft and receptive so the person can grow the
way they need to grow, because how do you know how they should grow?

“From
the soul’s point of view, you come to appreciate that each one of
us is living out his or her own karma. We interact together, and
those interactions are the grist for each other’s mill of
awakening. From a personality point of view, you develop judgment,
but from the soul’s point of view, you develop appreciation. This
shift from judging to appreciating — to appreciating yourself and
what your karmic predicament is, and who other beings are with their
own karma — brings everything into a simple loving awareness.
To be free means to open your heart and your being into the fullness of who you are, because only when you are resting in the place of unity can you truly honor and appreciate others and the incredible diversity of the universe.”

How
to Stop Beating Yourself Up
by
Bodhipaksa, Wildmind.org
Mindfulness is not something that we can only do in meditation. It’s a quality of attentiveness to whatever is arising, whether we’re working, walking, talking with a friend, showering, reading, or driving.
Mindfulness
is a quality of attention that we can, in principle, bring in to any
moment of our lives. We don’t need to be perfectly mindful —
let’s take away that particular excuse for beating ourselves up.
But there are certain critical moments in the unfolding of our
thoughts, feelings, and actions where a little mindful attention can
make the difference between creating misery for ourselves and
creating space, acceptance, and kindness.”
A
step-by-step guide to cultivating self-compassion, from a
presentation Bodhipaksa recorded for En*theos Academy. Check out
