A love note from Angie

Angie is away at a 10-day meditation retreat, so we’re pausing this week. 😌

If you’re reading this, take a moment to close your eyes, breathe slowly, 😮‍💨 and be kind to yourself. No one can be kinder to you than you. 🩵

Ever wonder why we talk so much about Freedom?

♪ Here’s a fun fact: Financial Freedom is NOT our final destination. True freedom is having a mind free from worries and attachments. 💎

♪ Another fun fact: What first brought us together was our shared love for meditation. 🥰 And we’ve both been to several retreats. It’s a lifelong, rewarding journey.

Before leaving for her retreat, Angie left this note for you. May it bring you peace. 🙏

I often get asked, 'So, what do you do at a meditation retreat?'

The simple answer is, 'You eat, sleep, meditate, and repeat. Then, over time, you heal, live fully in the present moment, and gain wisdom.'

At these retreats, I practice cultivating a mind free from worry, anxiety, aversion, craving, attachment, judgment, and yes—especially thoughts. 💭

This is achieved through continuous mindfulness with the right attitude: accepting everything as it is, whether pleasant or not.

Over time, my mind becomes more balanced, and I’ve experienced moments of equanimity. In those moments, I feel deep love and acceptance for myself and the world around me.

I even find joy in simple things, like walking to the restroom. 🤭

I’ve learned to let go of disturbing thoughts and uncomfortable feelings more quickly and gently.

That’s why I keep returning to these retreats, even though they’ve been, and will always be, the hardest thing I’ve ever put myself through. 🫠

They provide the perfect environment to intensely train my mind to be present. And each time, I carry some of that presence back into my daily life, living more mindfully.

It’s the highest form of self-compassion for me. 💙

May we all find the courage to pursue the ultimate Freedom. 🙏

With metta,

Angie

Hope it's helpful for your journey to Freedom 🙏

Love you to freedom and back, 🫰
