We enjoyed the evening air, sitting and walking in mindfulness. The shared reading was the 5 Mindfulness Trainings. Afterwards we discussed our personal experience of these, focussing on those personal to us.

The Trainings offer a reminder of who we already are. Not to judge ourselves by, but to support us, moment by moment as we navigate through an increasingly complex world. In truth we fail in all the trainings many times a day. If we can experience this with openness and compassion, moment by moment, we can glimpse these experiences as Dharma doors. Equanimity in action, each moment we remember to return to the present moment……..like we ever left it!

A lotus to you.
