We are all inherently good
While exceptionally difficult to do, if I could boil down the amalgamation of my personal and professional philosophies into one sentence — this would be it.
We are all inherently good.
We all have worth and deserve to feel it at every moment (unconditionally!). All of us are made of lovingkindness. Understanding that is when the heart feels at home. In many ways, what we think of as growth and healing is actually recognizing this truth.
One way to arrive at that truth is to become familiar with your inner refuge.
Your inner refuge is:
Aware in the here and now
Strong and non-reactive
Unperturbed by changing moods, thoughts, body sensations, and interactions with others
Intuitive and quiet, non-conceptual, not thinking
Feels like a still water pool deep within
Restorative and restful
While it may be a lifelong journey to connect to our goodness, my life’s work is to support others on this exploration as I, too, explore it for me.
We are in this together.
While suffering is a part of this human experience, it's also instrumental in waking up to what is essential.
When we wake up to what is essential, we feel at home in our hearts wherever we roam.
This is where our work together comes in.
By immersing ourselves in beneficial (and proven!) heart-centered practices, we can all learn to incline the mind toward our innately calm heart center from which arises limitless healing wisdom. We may not get the job or maybe that friendship is ending, but those external circumstances do not dictate our value.
We are capable of being balanced amongst the most turbulent life experiences and emotional storms. This heart center is strong.
