    Surrendering to Life is a teaching by Anam Thubten. Many people try to find the answer to the suffering of human life. In parallel, the entire Buddha’s teaching deals with human suffering.

    Mindfulness practice naturally encourages us to surrender.

    As we become more aware of our thoughts, we can interrupt the habitual thinking patterns that stand between us and surrendering to life. We may learn to ‘let go’ more easily and find that we move into our life more effortlessly. While it’s important to educate yourself about mindfulness and meditative practices, it’s not always easy to translate that information into action. In fact, you can even feel overwhelmed by the possibilities laid out before you. You know you want to live your life with greater intention, awareness, and clarity; but, the path forward from where you are now is hard to see. How do you go about the process of mindful life design?

    To help you incorporate mindful awareness into your daily life, we’re offering this free “mindful life blueprint,” a worksheet for designing the life you want to live, one with room for peace, gratitude, clarity, and fulfillment.
