Mindfulness is not meant to make us passive.
It helps us see clearly enough to act without being completely controlled by fear, anger, avoidance, or impulse.
Sometimes acceptance looks peaceful.
Sometimes it looks like finally saying, “This has to change.”

[Tim Hwang @TimHwang13]

Buddhism does not teach you to accept a painful situation and stay there.
It teaches you to stop fighting reality long enough to respond wisely.
Acceptance tells you where you are.
Wise effort helps you decide where to go next.
You need both.

[Tim Hwang @TimHwang13]

Acceptance is not:
• approving of what happened • pretending something does not hurt • tolerating mistreatment • abandoning your desire for change
Acceptance means recognizing: “This is what is happening right now.” And not fighting what is

@tao_lin Nice. Meditation teachers have a term for that. It’s called “catitation.”

I had the privilege to be featured on the Mind Bod Adventure Pod with my friends Jeff Warren and Tasha Schumann. We dive into my work teaching mindfulness to neurodivergent teens in NYC Public Schools. I’ve been doing this work for nearly 9 years, guiding students with autism, ADHD, and other classifications to find their own unique pathways into mindfulness – whether they’re eager, skeptical, or somewhere in between.

@NutriDetect Any thoughts on if this applies to pigment gallstones caused by hemolysis?

The sun shining through
The clouds on the mountain top.
Light breaks through the cracks.

Unmovable and
unshakable, the mountain

@tao_lin @kindlyone92 Nice. I am thinking of combining sun fiber and psyllium husk

[Tim Hwang @TimHwang13]

@tao_lin @kindlyone92 Have you tried the activated charcoal or sun fiber?

A timeless sunset

simmering off the East River.

Summer is like this.

I’m realizing the power of writing haikus for developing presence and creativity.

Quietly I sit
Stillness from meditation
Reveals I am whole.
