Consider that your presence on the cushion doesn’t guarantee balance. It’s what you bring to the cushion that matters. The same could be true of the fullness of our lives. It’s what we bring to it.

Your understanding of yourself doesn’t change. It is in your consciousness that spaciousness exists.
