“When you first encounter mindfulness practice,” writes Thich Nhat Hanh. “you may have a million questions. But before you look to someone else for answers, sit with these questions yourself.”

His words reflect one of life’s most profound teachings. That is to say, all that we’ve ever really wanted or needed has always been right here within. It is the centermost of our spiritual being, our focal point – or divine source.

And yet, we have such a habit of always looking outside ourselves. We want to believe the answers exist within a single point of reference. Perhaps, we fear touching our heart deeply? That we might discover a vulnerability of soul?

But, it’s only through asking these questions of self – that we are finally able to break through and extend our awareness further.

“We have to learn the things that can help us to transform our own suffering,” he shares. In order to do so, we must be willing to look deeply into our own pain.

So, don’t be afraid to ask those questions, my loves. As, you may find — the answers are all right there within your reflection.

A little something to consider, my friends ~

Namaste ❤️
