Nuevisma calm

To remember: Be happy if you can be the eye. In a hurricane, that is. When the hurricane passes over, be happy for what is still left standing. If you can't make the world's problems, or sick people, as well as you want to, right this instant, see an opportunity to practice cultivating love & compassion, and if/when needed, compassionate detachment. Breathe. How? Maybe a deep breath, or a shallow one but with a slow out breath. Be thankful for those times when you come into contact with teachers you know are more powerful or advanced in some way than you are, and be compassionate when you see suffering, even if that suffering causes you some kind of stress. And if you didn't always act as compassionately as you could have, don't dwell on it in a harsh way, but do try to remember for next time. Embrace opportunities to open, expand, heal. Pay attention to how you breathe.
