"The intimacy that arises in listening and speaking truth is only possible if we can open to the vulnerability of our own hearts. Breathing in, contacting the life that's right here is our first step. Once we have held ourselves with kindness we can touch others in a vital and healing way" Tara Brach.
This quote from Tara Brach is a reminder for me to breath and get out of my head, particularly when my mind is whirlingly full for whatever reason. One breath at a time, it really is that simple.

I have had a weekend spent with my ex partner and it's at times like this, when my mind is in overdrive full of whys hows and whats, that I need a nudge to recognise that these are just thoughts, that they can be allowed to pass like scudding clouds and that I always have the breath to return to in the here and now.
