Finding Freedom: A Weekend Retreat on the Seven Points of Mind Training online and in person retreat with Tim - October 4th-6th in beautiful Steamboat. - More Info and Registration

My experience is that allowing a space before we react predictably is magical. For me, it’s what allows for making friends with myself, what allows for clear seeing and a change of direction. Without this mindful gap, without refraining, we just stay stuck in old patterns, wondering, yet again, “How did I get into this mess?”

Contemplation of the Week - Living Wisely


In the days to come, as you go about your day, see if you can be aware of the assumptions you make about the people around you. Are you open to the people around you? Or, do you find yourself filling the space with your assumptions, attitudes and projections. Living with curiosity and openness is wisdom itself.
