My Practice Starts with an Open Heart

My Practice Starts with an Open Heart

This is the practice I aspire to:

  • Open heart. 

  • Open mind. 

  • Open ears (for deep listening). 

  • Loving-kindness in action.

  • Respect for self and others 

  • Living fully in the moment with the goal of knowing and sharing my best self every day.

I believe this is the greatest way to honor ourselves, each other, and whatever higher power we believe in — by creating peace, love, and kindness in our daily lives. 

By practicing the simple principles of learning, sharing what we learn, and growing through this sharing and learning we begin to raise the common denominator in our lives.
