"If we can reframe our view to one that is inclusive of our full experience, then it frees us up to be present now. We don’t have to wait for some future moment." – Emily West Horn lionsroar.com/a-more-present…

We can type & re-type it, file & report it, detest and denounce it while they lie and deny it, yet we have watched this happen in real time while the US government lies to our faces while bullying the UN & the Israel lobby has gone as far as calling “ceasefire” antisemitic.

My 3rd grader is begging me for PowerPoint. Apparently he has already learned how to make slideshows into movies. “We did our whole presentation on 🪐 on it mom.” Meanwhile, my stomach tenses and I’m back in business school …. When it was a “new” way of doing things. 😂🤔

I woke up grieving for children of the world. As l🔥 candles, I remember the Japanese deity, Jizo Bosatsu (little stone statue in the pic), protector of the souls of children. It helps to incline to a bigger picture. To sense into vastness of heart ♥️ & symbols can be doorways.

Expert is a non learning term. Contemplate that…

If you’re certain then question it.

If you want to connect, feel stuck in your spiritual practice, have doubts, and/or want to make progress. I have space in November for 1-1 Meditation/Dharma Mentoring. You can find more info in the link in my bio. 🙏🏻💕

If you’re grieving, I’m with you. I do my best to remember:

If you are mindful that you are more reactive right now, of course, horrific violence and the cycles of trauma lead to this. Perhaps take a moment to resource. How does this change the actions you take?

Starts this November! 💕

@VinceFHorn Love you 😘

May we all have access to the beautiful aspects of life. It helps heal our human being mess 💕🌄

@drhaswell Jade is awesome! Glad you’ve got some parental time. Congrats on the little one.

@EmilyHorn Oh I love this! Not that I know of (but I’m on parental leave so am a bit disconnected atm). And I knew you were gonna do some recordings (with the wonderful Jade). Glad to hear that happened and that you got a download on some of what’s coming!

I’m working to bring spiritual apprenticeship back. Healing and awakenings need relationship. After two decades of practice and many years of mentorship with Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield—I see more and more how invaluable these kinds of relationships are. 🙏🏻❤️✨

@drhaswell Mindfulnessteachers.space is one way. Is 10% considering this type of relationship at all? I just recorded some meditations for y’all and it seems like some cool stuff is upcoming..

@EmilyHorn So invaluable. How are you working to bring it back? (And how can we all support this?) 🙂

@leahprime First things that come to mind: Resonance Willingness to learn Dedication to seeing through delusions Ability to roll with constructive feedback Deep care for human beings Compassionate aim

@EmilyHorn I would love a thread from you on how people find these kinds of apprenticeships and build those relationships - especially from the mentee side

It’s October y’all. Do you ever get the sense there’s more here than you think?

@mriramos I’m talking to her on Wed about it for the “Our Beloved Teachers” podcast!

@EmilyHorn Have you read Spring Washam’s latest book?

October brings up 💀 and the spirit world. What’s your relationship to these? The rational/cognitive mind usually gets freaked out. I’ve had way to many experiences with the unseen and spiritual emergencies to deny these anymore.
