David Mckee has written an interesting article and following is my reflection to it:
The ideas of stability and hospitality are very important as we are going through times of uncertainty, fear and anxiety. We all are facing new challenges. How to make our life stable and relate to these challenges without being uprooted is a BIG question for all of us. Ignoring, denying orminimizing is not the answer. Acknowledging and accepting what is happening is my way of relating to these challenges. I relax my body and mind regularly, practice mindfulness meditation, go with the flow of the reality as it is, and use the free time I have by helping other people in my life. Serving other people selflessly and doing good work creates loving and kind flow of energy in me. I am very grateful to the spiritual teachers in my life for teaching me how to be open , stable, grounded, calm, and compassionte. These precious gifts have helped me when I go through darkness in my life. Daily practice of living consciously and mindfully has made my life stable and hospitable. Non-judgmental loving awareness of myself and others has become my way of living. It is very fulfilling and gratfying. Namste!

I practice mindfulness every morning upon awaking, but struggle throughout the day when faced with challenges. Remembering to focus on my body’s messages of tension reminds me to pause and relax. Relax the constraints in my mind that blinds me of what’s within me and around me. I need to practice being hospitality first with myself. Becoming comfortable with who I am, so that I can be present with others in a compassionate way. Thank you for your constant teachings! I love you!
