Mindfulness involves learning to appreciate and honor our emotions rather than judging or avoiding them. We learn to stay with whatever unfolds from moment to moment. We greet whatever emotion arises as an honored guest. Befriending our emotions, recognizing each one holds it’s own message. When we begin to understand that we need dark to know light. That we need hurt to know forgiveness, that we need pain to know joy, we can then begin to embrace the nature of balance and the beauty of life. #DailyCalm
