Calmness Within

When we have a balanced inner life we learn to understand ourselves. Recognizing our faults but not judging with our usual intensity will relax and open our heart, which then lets wisdom and compassion be how we react to the people and situations that affect us.

Instead of anger or jealousy, insight and loving kindness can become the way for us, our default mode. This leads to creating a deep calmness within.
