A note from Sean
Teachers who have practiced for decades say that if you think you’re enlightened, go home and live with your family for a week. It’s hard, and that’s normal. Before we talk with someone we love, we can take a few deep breaths and feel what we are carrying.
Try this today. Take a slow walk together, even around the house or yard. Feel your feet on the floor. When you finish, ask each person to name one thing they noticed.

This suits families who want one small shared habit. If home is tense, or grief or conflict is in the room, try it alone first and go gently. Stop when you need to.
