Homework

Establish the intention to use the phrase, “Is there love for this too,” this week when difficulties arise within and outside of formal practice. Allow the phrase to open your heart beyond the immediate reactive response. You will have to release yourself totally to fully let go and give in to love’s weight and force. It will reveal the emptiness of self if you allow it. It can be helpful to pause while you are inviting this new perspective. The pause will provide the necessary gap between the contracted reactivity and the open space of love. Notice that love demands everything from us. Reflect on how much are we willing to meet it?
