From The Heart... A Practice

http://living-and-dying.org/the-heart-practice-for-difficult-times/

Please take a moment to read The Heart Practice.  It is from The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, where Sogyal Rinpoche writes: “I would now like to give you a practice that can truly help you when you are suffering from deep sorrow and grief…[W]henever you are desperate, anguished, or depressed, whenever you feel you cannot go on, or you feel your heart is breaking, I advise you to do this practice. The only conditions to the effectiveness of this practice are that you need to do it with all your might, and that you need to ask, really to ask, for help.”

Something to know... this is not really religion based. I know sometimes you hear the word "religion" and you get that "no thanks I gave at the office" feeling. But this is more of a daily living philosophy.  Probably why I am drawn to these teachings.  The book is truly eye opening and amazing. Something to add to your reading list for sure
