Ways we can walk
Some of the ways we can walk to better understand and enjoy our lives are to raise our awareness, cultivate empathy, and share more care and love.
Both subject and object
When we meditate we are the subject who observes and the object observed. So, we are not our thoughts, even if we can create our life with them.
Truly connected
Never stop being generous in feeling and being loving, caring, and kind, as these are the way we can truly be connected to others.
We are the Universe itself
We are, literally, made of the same elements of the Universe. We share with it the same energy. So, living in harmony with the Universe is the way to be.
We can choose
All we experience, from the most painful moments to the happiest events, is subject to our own interpretation of it. So, we can choose most of our actions.
A better world
Every activity we engage in should be inclusive, based on openness, acceptance, respect, justice, care, and love. Let's build together a better world.
