The Tantrik tradition offers us an option that makes the whole spiritual path gel into coherence: the gentle effort of leaning into a loving awareness of what is. This means using the power of the will, gently but persistently, to open into nonjudgmental intimacy with whatever is happening in this moment. (Wallis Christopher; the recognition sutras).
