What Has The Practice Done For You?

Recently I asked a group of students, "What has the Practice done for you?"

Following is a small selection of their answers:


I'm more aware of what's going on around me.

I have fewer knee-jerk reactions.

I'm aware of all the stories I've been telling myself.

I have a greater awareness of my interior feelings, actions, and thoughts.

I realize I have everything I need within me.

It's my karma, my choices. I no longer blame others for things that happen to me.

If I blame something else or someone other I don't face my problems. 

I respond with respect.

I have more awareness.

Everyone has their own experiences which guide them.
