When we bring presence to the moment, when there's a measure of “arrived” and “available,” we have a choice in how we're relating to what’s here. The invitation in this practice is that we can choose to align, to recommit, to remember what we wish to choose as our north star or the compass of our heart. And gradually, as we mature in this practice, we get less entangled and worry less about what we cannot control. This is where we really deepen our capacity to dance with life rather than being in a reactive relationship it.
