Each time you meet an old emotional pattern with presence, your awakening to truth can deepen. Thereβs less identification with the self in the story and more ability to rest in the awareness that is witnessing whatβs happening.

Rather than cycling repetitively through old conditioning, you are actually spiraling toward freedom. β¨ Tara Brach (2013). True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart, p.73, Bantam
