[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 723239, member: 13542"] LBL, when I was running thru my home after being told to evacuate ASAP during the California Wildfires, I only grabbed one book, When things fall apart, Heart advice for difficult times, by Pema Chodron. I've read all of her books a number of times and joined in a few of her courses, her words help me to stay in my heart, open and accepting during the most turbulent times in life. She teaches tonglen, which is something I'm practicing during meditation. In the practice, one visualizes taking in the suffering of oneself and of others on the in-breath, and on the out-breath giving recognition, compassion, and succor to all sentient beings suffering in the same way. As such it is a training in compassion. It is a practice that helps me on this board where there is so much suffering. I find her voice and her words soothing and helpful. I hope she can offer you solace, peace and serenity.....especially in the midst of the path with your son. She was a huge support to me during the difficult times with my daughter. [/QUOTE]
