Leaving home: the trance of small self
Meditation: the path to presence
Rain: cultivating a mindful presence
Awakening to the life of the body
Possessed by the mind: the prison of obsessive thinking
Investigating core beliefs
Heart medicine for traumatic fear
Self-compassion: releasing the second arrow
Holding hands: living compassion
Losing what we love: the pain of separation
A heart that is ready for anything.
