may this day be an invitation to go deeper in our love for others and ourselves, to expand our view of love to include even that which we have decided is unlovable, and to touch the Great Love that is the ground of all being, our foundation, our compass, and destination (spoiler alert – the destination is here and now, as we are, with the world as it is).
may our eyes and hearts open to the love that is not boxed in by fleeting feelings of affection and the ever changing tides of emotion, but set free by intention and vow – to choose love and the work of love for people and a world in need.
holding all of you – you who are embodiments of love, along with this world, and this life in my heart and practice with love. ~j ⭕️❤️🙏🏻
in life there will always be change, movement and obstacles. even as life brings changes and obstacles arise on our path, we can still commit to a path of love, of contributing to the healing rather than the harm. we can keep moving and walking towards what is love, what is beneficial. the path of love is buoyed by practice. when we sit, when we settle down and pay attention to our breath, coming home to our bodies and this moment, when we touch the tenderness and warmth of our own heart and direct that feeling and aspiration to love towards ourselves and others, we support a foundational quality of being that can also be accessed and practiced as we go about our daily lives in situations and conversations. ~j

i love this quote by the late and great bell hooks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
with meditation practice, we practice allowing space, and that space supports the opportunity for our heart to open and awaken to who and what we are, which is love.
reprieve, rather than retreat. when we feel overwhelmed, we may have a tendency to retreat, to close up, to stick our head in the sand. there is an instinct at work there that is calling our attention to a need to rest & take care. however, if we retreat, the challenge, the obstacle doesn’t magically disappear (raises fist to the heavens “but why not??!”). they are still there, we may miss the learning opportunity, & if there is harm being done, then people are still suffering, & as long as some are suffering, there is collective suffering. we are in this together. love moves us to consider both ourselves & the other, & through the lens of love (born of empathy, embodied by compassion) there is a clarity, & we see there really is no other. there is another option. we have the option of a reprieve rather than a retreat. we can simply take a break. though love moves us to care for others, it also moves us to care for ourselves. we need to rest & take good care of ourselves. self-care is an act of love. so it can be an act of love to take a reprieve from the challenges & obstacles we face & to rest. rest gives us the opportunity to loosen our grasp, to refocus, & be open to new approaches. we can be reborn into action that is truly beneficial. love is work. it isn’t a feeling as much as it is a choice. feelings come & go along w/ the tide, but our choice, our commitment, our vow to love can remain constant, even as the sea of impermanence brings changes. the world needs such love & those committed to it. hope is born from such luminous space. i have deep abiding hope, because i still see love at work. the world needs us, our talents, our skills, our love. but the world also needs us rested & not burnt out. take good care. ~j
meditation practice is an opportunity to come home to ourselves, to stop, to sit and breathe. something so simple and basic, yet profound in its ability to bring clarity, build resilience, and stabilize – all traits we can benefit from in a world and life of constant movement, demands, and change. 🧘🏼♂️ meditation practice can increase our capacity of heart and spaciousness of mind to be with life as it is in this moment, as we are, with attention and awareness. it can be a gift we give ourselves and can be our companion on this journey.💫 join me this coming weekend for Self-Care Saturdays & Sundays, both at 9am PT. no previous experience necessary, just a willingness to work with your mind and give yourself the gift of time and space. instructions and guidance will be given.✨ Links below 👍🏻 For Saturday 2/12: https://buytickets.at/jmwartmeditation/649352
