"The basic creative energy of life — life force — bubbles up and courses through all of existence. It can be experienced as open, free, unburdened, full of possibility, energizing. Or this very same energy can be experienced as petty, narrow, stuck, caught." -- #PemaChodron
"The basic point of the practices is…
…just learn to be extremely honest and also wholehearted about what exists in your mine— thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, the whole thing that adds up to what we call “me” or “I”." -- #PemaChodron
