Commitment To Self

Taking refuge in the present moment can be so helpful when we are looking for ways to calm and quiet our busy minds. This meditation explores our commitment, not just to the practice but to ourselves. The awareness we gain in meditation provides each of us with the wisdom and knowledge to move forward in a way that honors each of us. As we sit, we can trust in the knowledge that what's important and true will surface, asking for our attention. What's true for you right now in this moment?
