Cynthia Bourgeault – On responding

In any situation in life, confronted by an outer threat or opportunity, you can notice yourself responding inwardly in one of two ways. Either you will brace, harden and resist, or you will soften, open, and yield… Whether it’s a matter of holding your ground in a dispute with your boss, handling a rebellious teenager with tough love, or putting your life on the line for an ideal you believe in… Action flows better when it flows from nonviolence, that is, when it flows from that place of relaxed, inner opening.
