«Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself.

Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.»
