“The ache for Home lies in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” – Maya Angelou​

Have you ever discovered a space you felt truly to be home?

Somewhere, tucked away, along an outstretched piece of trail – or perhaps, cozied up next to a blazing winter’s fire.

Close your eyes, and be with me in that space – and then, tell me, just how does it make you feel?

I’ve always loved this sense of coming home. Just the mere action of stepping through the door—of letting go, of leaving something else behind—has the capacity to completely transform my state of being. Looking out through the back porch window, where the garden pathway is just slightly overgrown, my soul is at peace. In this moment, I know I belong.

As humans, we crave this experience of belonging—instinctively, gravitating towards a space in which our lives may simply unfold. Our mindfulness practices invites us here—to relax, to breathe, to observe, to touch, to experience life just as it really is.

Why? Because, everyone needs a place to call home.

Through our mindfulness practice, we can begin to rest into the awareness of who we really are—and, irrespective of our circumstances, have faith that there is a sense of belonging with us wherever we may go.

It’s all right here, my darlings, right where the heart is—and, within each breath, an invitation to please come home.
