FEATURED VIDEO
A Meeting of the Heart
From: The Quiet Space of Openheartedness
The human heart—the soul—is much more robust and resilient than we imagine. Adyashanti invites us into the quiet, intimate dimension of awareness, where we can acknowledge and appreciate the quiet space of being, and deeply listen to our heart. This deep listening allows our spirit to be a remembrance of our true nature, and allows it to gently guide and inform our being.
Quotes from this Video:
“Spirituality is the art of paying attention to what others ignore, what tends to be devalued so much in human life.”
“The quieter dimension of our being often goes unacknowledged and unappreciated.”
“There is something that is beyond the harm of the world, our heartful, affectionate presence—the world needs that. It needs each of us to show up. That is our primary responsibility.”
“It’s here that we should meet one another, where the quiet spaces in each of us can breathe, where there is room inbetween the words we say, and even between the words we think.”
“Let’s remember our spirit, and maybe together we can listen from our spirit.”
“We have this incredible body, mind, and spirit—and the whole of the body-mind is a sensory device. It’s a way in which our true nature experiences the world and experiences itself.”
