Within the most subtle dimension of the human heart, great kindness, peace, and tranquility abide. Yes, all three of these qualities apply to an extraordinary palpability residing at our center of attention. The phrase "center of attention" may be taken in two distinct senses. First, it is that center from which all nascent phenomena are adorned with awareness or consciousness. It is here wherein phenomena gain that most subtle caress by awareness rendering what may be into sheer becoming, i.e., the ephemeral dynamic of experience. Second, it is the focal point for a practice of opening to the heartfelt dimension of what may be termed love, sincerity, kindness, authenticity, and all of those virtues that have yet to become cognitive and sought after by the noblest among us.
When you have a moment or two throughout your day place your attention to your heart center and allow breathing to move in, around, and through it in both the exhalation and the inhalation--and, yes, even in the gentle grip of holding breath letting it rest there for a few.... With time and attention, the heart will respond to your entreaties and will recognize you who have sought peace for far too long.
