Meditation is about increasing our awareness. Increasing our awareness reveals our inner self to us. It shines a light on all the parts of us that we have hidden away, hoping that they are gone.
This is where we begin to truly learn compassion

David Gilbert talks with a rare depth & honesty about the pathways of opening our hearts. For him our emotions & subconscious are the ground in which we can awaken. His voice is refreshingly different.
“When I sit in Meditation, I have my eyes open. Because I want to learn to see. I have my ears open, because I want to learn to listen. I am open to all bodily sensations because I want to learn to connect. I am open to all thoughts, because I want to learn the truth. I am open to all emotions, because I want to learn compassion”
