Oh I love this so much. So much of your journey and your intentions here resonate with me. I’m also a mindfulness practitioner and I’m new to Substack, drawn here in the same spirit of more compassion and goodness. I’ve had several people reach out to help me grow, but I’m loving the space to find the path with a slow ease. I’m so glad to have found you :)
There’s a corollary to this that I struggle with. I’d like to be a more mindful READER, a more attentive listener both to the written word on the page, but far more broadly than that. It’s likely they are two sides of a - the - spiritual coin.
Yes you do need to mindfully read too. Which is a skill I had to learn. I used to read really fast but now I take my time. Essentially I’ve slowed down everything I do!
Thank you, Kate. I really appreciate your support 💙
'Bringing more joy and empathy, rather than violence and division': what a beautiful endeavour!
Thanks Lizzie. We definitely need more of all the good things!
Yes, that's the line I resonated with, too. Thank you, Amanda. Looking forward to reading more from you.
