PURPOSE

6/28/2020

 
Our sense of worth is often woven into what we do, what we create, what we contribute. We love to find meaning and purpose. It feels good to have goals and direction.
 
And what if your purpose is also to fully own who you are…to be this glorious and flawed human being, and to let that be enough.
 
In mindful presence,
Lori Furbush
You and your purpose in life are the same thing. Your purpose is to be you.
―George Alexiou

HOME

6/21/2020

 
​A metaphor for life, holding a yoga posture is like suspending your body and entire being in the space between pleasure and discomfort. Sensations and emotions give rise to waves of craving and aversion. Somewhere in between strength of presence and softness of spirit, you may find home.
 
In mindful presence,
Lori Furbush
Being Home

Where can I soften in this posture?
Where is the edge between opening and force,
the line between stretch and too much effort?
The mind and body serve up a feast of feelings,
each breath another chance to deepen and release.
The smallest motion, or even just a quiet sigh
could be all that I require to shift my focus
from the outer to the inner realm,
a change from feeling lost to being home.

—Danna Faulds

HUMILITY

6/14/2020

 
​For most of us, the mind chatters on about self-worth. Whether that inner voice is boasting about your accomplishments or chastising your shortcomings, the chatter is still all about you. So what is humility? Perhaps it’s that ability to set the smaller self aside and open to the humbling vastness of the cosmos, the amazing wisdom within the rhythms of nature, or the wonder of life manifested in the human or creature next to you.
 
In mindful presence,
Lori
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
—C. S. Lewis

GENUINE

6/7/2020

 
To be genuine is to be sincere, authentic, and truthful. If we are lucky, there are people in our lives with whom we can be our genuine self, without pretense or buffers. And if we are skillful, we can recognize the truth of ourselves, claiming the good, the bad, and the ugly, without secrecy or denial. How freeing to live in truth.

In mindful presence,
Lori

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. —Howard Thurman
