Wisdom Coach

The Art of Being

You are a remarkable fact of existence, a truly awe-inspiring creature. If you didn’t know that already, let me hold up a mirror so you can see your reflection clearly, so you can see for yourself the miracle that you are.

I want you to understand yourself, to appreciate yourself, to love and care for yourself. I want you to embody yourself fully, to live authentically from your own heart.

I want you to be happy, to be free from suffering.

I wish you lasting peace,

John

Mindfulness & Metta

Meditations

Only when I am mindful – connected directly to experience, open to it, interested in it, not lost in thought – can I wisely navigate this Space of Possibility. Only when I am mindful can I truly understand and, therefore, love my friends and family. Only when I am mindful can I be at peace.
