Teens Day 19: Connect with your core

When your mind is reeling in confusion, breathe deeply into the centre of your chest.

Connecting to the core of your being this way extends loving kindness to yourself , even when there is none in sight.

Thank you. Charlotte Joko Beck’s book Everyday Zen is well worth the read, even if uncompromising in its simplicity and I like Ezra Bayda’s At Home in the Muddy Water. They are both challenging in the way they keep us returning to how things are now, before we get lost in our stories.
