Reblogged to save it — pain is the constant isn’t it — physical, mental, emotional.
“Do not resist your pain.
Surrender to the grief, despair, fear, loneliness,
or whatever form the suffering takes.

Allow it to be there.
Embrace it.
Then see how the miracle of surrender transmutes
deep suffering into deep peace.”

responding with compassion to the pain
of craving, anger, fear and confusion.
Without mindfulness we are stuck in the
reactive pattern and identification that
will inevitably create more suffering and confusion.”
~ Noah Levine
