My darling child, break your heart no longer. Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart. You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality. The time has come - your time - to live, to celebrate, and see the goodness that you are. Let no one, no thing, no idea or ideal obstruct you. If one comes, even in the name of truth, forgive it for its unknowing. Do not fight. Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are. - Babuji Dana Wyss Healing Arts Breathe deeply, practice often, be well. http://www.danawyss.com/

Recently while doing a little research on interoception, I looked up the fantastic interview Norm Farb did with Brooke Thomas on the Liberated Body Podcast some years ago. Remembering how much I appreciate Norm's unique combination of serious researcher + playful teacher, I looked around a bit to see what he's been up to lately. Here's an uplifting and timely talk about the importance of choosing our stories, and continuing to do so as life changes (and changes us). Hope you enjoy.

We encounter each other in words, words spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed, words to consider, reconsider. We cross dirt roads and highways that mark the will of some one and then others, who said I need to see the other side. I know there's something better down the road. We need to find a place where we are safe. We walk into that which we cannot yet see. Say it plain: many have died for this day. Sing the names of the dead who brought us here, who laid the train tracks, raised the bridges, picked the cotton and the lettuce, built brick by brick the glittering edifices they would then keep clean and work inside of. Praise song for struggle, praise song for the day. Praise song for every hand-lettered sign, the figuring-it-out at kitchen tables. Some live by love thy neighbor as thyself, others by first do no harm or take no more than you need. What if the mightiest word is love? Love beyond marital, filial, national, love that casts a widening pool of light, love with no need to pre-empt grievance. In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, any thing can be made, any sentence begun. On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp, praise song for walking forward in that light. - Elizabeth Alexander, from Praise Song for the Day Dana Wyss Healing Arts Breathe deeply, practice often, be well. http://www.danawyss.com/ A key component of developing and strengthening our internal resilience is the quality of the relationships in our lives. In this fantastic interview, Shawn Achor shows us how to cultivate happiness and gratitude, how to select our "team" and empower them to support us in ways that really serve our well-being, and how to show up as a positive influence for the important others in our lives. I found this interview delightful, generous and deeply inspiring, and I hope you'll benefit from it, too.
