* Inspiration – With Mindfulness

Ripple heartWith Mindfulness

“Every single one of us is an agent of wisdom and transformation, of insight and healing, of creativity and imagination in this inter-embedded network we call humanity.

We have all the moments we need to take responsibility for how we choose to be in relationship to what is and to what might be, if we follow our hearts and our intrinsic wisdom.ย 

This opportunity invites us all to engage wholeheartedly, each in our own way, in an ongoing adventuring on the domain of the possible and the not yet realized.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

I am really inspired by these words today. Coming from our Middle Ground we can transform ourselves and the world.

We never really knowย how we impact others, but I believe inย the expanding ripple of love and healing that comes from within each of us when we are present with an open heart.

How do these words inspire you?

  1. I love the ending about the “possible” and “not yet realized”. I love how it speaks to potential. We can sometimes get stuck in “what is” and miss the possibilities.

    Val, our thoughts are in sync. I’ve been musing over the inter-embedded network a lot lately. The words that keep coming to my mind are ever-widening-circles-of-compassion. If I truly SEE each person, there is an automatic connection.

  3. We all feed into how the day will play out in a sense. And we affect others who may or may not know us. I’ve thought about the ripple effect many times in my life. Thanks for this thought-provoking post Val!

    I like these lines because I am reminded to trust in the Universe – that everything unfolds as it should if I get out of the way and stop trying to control with my mind or how I think things should unfold. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Inspiring words to live by Val. Thankyou for sharing them. I like the part about making the choice to be responsible in our relationships. It’s true we create and choose all our experiences and deep within we all have the wisdom we often seek outside ourselves.

  8. First off, I loved the comments so far! Such insight! You have great readers! Secondly and off topic, this week is the first time I’ve been able to set an intention before yoga and really feel it during the session and then feel it go with me the rest of the day! I was pretty jazzed over that fact!

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
