This Sunday's topic and practice will be an opportunity to explore Mindful Living as a way to mitigate daily life stressors. In a heart-centered practice of listening and sharing with one another, We will explore and discuss the four elements of F.L.O.W. and how it supports shifting from Stress-filled days to a life anchored in Mindful Living.  The four elements of F.L.O.W. are as follows:

• Following your intuition: Being present with your intuitive energy (innate goodness or Buddha nature)

• Letting go of outcomes and expectations:  Being led by equanimity,  sympathetic joy, loving-kindness, and compassion. Trusting your responsive decisions will yield the best outcomes for yourself and all others. 

• Owning your experience: Unconditionally embracing yourself.  You are not perfect;  You are divine.  Owning your experience empowers you to mitigate victimization of yourself and others and cultivate sustainable joy in your life and community.

• Welcoming growth edges:  Allow life to be your dharma.  Your awakening, healing, and self-actualizing live within your openness and acceptance of your dharma or life lessons. 

During my dharma share, I will explore: 

• I will explore how present-mindedness via F.L.O.W. supports our journey to Mindful Living.
