Dear friends,
Today’s video is my opening for the weekly Aging With Mindfulness Group on Banyantogether.com that I lead.
As we navigate this significant day, Election Day, it can be slippery to get caught up in a swirl of emotions - like hatred, and blame. Consider how your emotions may tilt into fear, but can be intentionally brought back into the space of love and kindness.
Today I invite you to cultivate steadiness amidst the chaos. Through the practice of mindfulness, we can observe our breath, our thoughts, and our physical sensations with kindness and compassion. By doing so, we can tap into a wellspring of wisdom and peace that resides within each of us.
Nurture the inner spark of love, kindness, and compassion within your heart—let it grow, filling your system and radiating outward to the world.
We are not alone in this journey - there are millions of people around the globe who are also seeking to bring more light and wisdom into the world.
As we move forward, let us remember the power of our practice and the importance of maintaining a balanced and focused mind. By turning towards our experiences with honesty and compassion, we can find the steadiness we need to navigate challenging times.
May my sharing today provide calm and steadiness.
With love and gratitude,
Constance Casey
