Hello Friend: Please take a few minutes and allow your heart to open to profound self love. 

Using the simple and potent mantra  "I love you" we will open our hearts and the deep unconscious mind to deep healing potentials.  You can imagine being present at your own birth, to be the first one to hold this precious baby.  What have you always wanted to hear" What have you longed to hear?  It is now, right here today, to give the gift of such a prayerful blessing to yourself.  This is a recording to return to many times.  

Open the way inside you,

the universe is your only breath,

surrender to the present moment,

what's coming now is all that's left,

many Rivers flow through us,

many creatures become us....

Death asked me to join him for dinner

Performed by Robert Beatty. Music by Saffire Bouchellion 

This poem is like a splash of cold water in the face. Wake up and know what you know, what is real. Everything that can be lost will be lost. This is the essence of the Buddha's teachings in a few lines. Buckle up this is the ride of your life!

The Buddha recommended that we spend time with the Five Daily Recollections each and every day. They are a medicine for fear, greed, hatred, and confusion.  By reflecting often and deeply on these truths a new freedom is born.  

Hello friend — take a moment to rest here with me. Notice your breath, the sensations in your body, and let the idea of “I” soften. Imagine, for a heartbeat, there’s no separation between you and the world — the deer in the forest, the babies taking their first breath, the whales migrating, the trees and the people both suffering and joyful.

There’s nothing to fix. Allow yourself to relax into this vastness: grief, joy, plans, and spaciousness all included. Remember, you are connected to every being — tyrants, victims, lovers, and strangers — and that recognition is itself a kind of home.

A Poem of Love and Mindfulness as synonyms:  IN both there is room for everything
