Dear Open Heart Project,
Hello, I hope you are well! Also, I cut all my hair off! On purpose!
In this video, I share some thoughts with you about something I’ve been thinking about in relation so my own spiritual journey, what in Buddhism is called “the middle way”. What is it in the middle of? How does one find this midpoint? I hope you find interesting things to think about in regard to this question.
Let me hear any reflections you have. I always love to hear from you.
With love, Susan

Right there with you!
This teaching was so clarifying…how our meditation practice: resting on the breath, brings us to the present which trains our mind to be in the present. And, how “the middle way” being in the present has meaning beyond our conventional mind. (If I’m understanding this.) Thank you so much!
so glad this was useful, Betsy! love always, s
