Midweek Motivation

Tip 1: Start Your Morning with Tonglen

(Sunday’s tip: Be Yourself: It's Your Greatest Gift)

Tonglen is a transformative Tibetan Buddhist meditation focusing on compassion, loving-kindness, and self-acceptance. Find a quiet and comfortable spot and try one of these guided Tonglen meditations on Insight Timer:

• Tonglen Meditation | Shambhavi Sarasvati

• Tonglen For Healing | Saqib Rizvi

Tip 2: Read The Anatomy of Peace by The Arbinger Institute

(Sunday’s tip: Preserve Others Joy and Peace)

If you're seeking peace in your personal and professional life, The Anatomy of Peace by The Arbinger Institute is an invaluable read. This engaging narrative delves into the roots of conflict and offers practical strategies for fostering harmony. Emphasizing a heart at peace rather than a heart at war, it guides us to see beyond the surface behavior of others and address the real sources of tension.

Something Interesting

This week we’re reflecting on this excerpt from Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.

“Tibetan Buddhist texts liken this type of addictive behavior to ‘licking honey off a razor.’ The initial sensation may be sweet, but the underlying effect is quite damaging. Seeking satisfaction in others or in external objects or events reinforces a deep and often unacknowledged belief that we, as we are, are not entirely complete; that we need something beyond ourselves in order to experience a sense of wholeness or security or stability.”

Thanks for reading!
