“The Buddha advised us not to run away from suffering. Instead, we have to confront suffering and look into the heart of suffering. Understanding the nature is the second Noble Truth.
Without understanding of suffering, the fourth Noble Truth, the path leading to the cessation of suffering, would not be possible. “~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“Anxiety is teaching you/reminding you to operate at a higher vibration. Bring in your awareness, let go of old information, and activate/reactivate your higher energy.” ~ The Insight Center
GRIEF insights
“Keep in mind that grief doesn’t just dissolve. Instead, it arises in waves and gradually, with growing compassion, there comes more space around it. The heart opens and in its own time, little by little, gaps of new life—breaks in the rain clouds—appear. This is a natural cycle you can trust—how the heart renews itself.” ~ Jack Kornfield
“If time actually healed people, no one in the world would be hurting. Time is simply space, what matters is how you use it. If you fill you time intentionally with self-love, letting go and building the new habits your being needed, that would make a real difference.” ~ Yung Pueblo
“Heaviness comes from hanging on tightly to emotions that were always meant to be ephemeral. We want things to last forever or we turn difficult moments into long lasting pain simple because we have not learned to let go. We have to learn that the beauty of living comes from the movement of change. Letting go does not mean that we forget, and it does not mean that we give up, it just means that we are not letting our present happiness be determined by things that happened in the past or by things we wish happen in the future.
Letting go takes training and dedication. Find a practice that brings you noticeable results and use it consistently. When things get tough remember that we are not building something small, we are building a palace of peace within our own hearts, and it takes determination to complete something of such beauty and magnitude.” ~ Yung Pueblo
