Feeling peaceful?

The rare and precious state of accepting the present moment as it is. Not the absence of problems but the presence of inner sufficiency.

The unmet need

Freedom from the constant pressure to change or improve; the radical acceptance that this moment is enough.

A question to sit with

What if nothing about this moment needs to be different? What becomes possible when I stop resisting what is?

What to do right now

Sit quietly for 5 minutes. Notice your breath without changing it. When thoughts come, let them pass like clouds. Say softly: "This moment is enough. I am enough. All is well enough for now."
