Virtually anything we wish to accomplish – be it musical skills, speaking proficiency, or healthy, strong minds and bodies – requires deliberate, regular practice. We need to actually grow the cells and wiring that allow such skilfullness to manifest. Often, we also need demonstration and instruction in what needs to be practiced. This edition of The Enchanted Loom reviews an exceptionally useful “instruction manual” for cultivating a Tender Brain.

Thanks, Byron. The more people practicing, presumably the less suffering there will eventually be in the world. Sincerely, Mark
Very lovely! Another resource for cultivating a warm and tender heart is Your Resonant Self, a book by Sarah Peyton.
Thanks, Lily. I’ll check out Sarah’s book. Blessings, Mark
Simple truths, complexity at the core. Surely you Mark are walking on the side of tenderness – thanks for the generosity in sending us an uncomplicated message for the holidays šš¤
Thank you, Gloria. What makes Tenderness such a challenging practice is when my stress hormones run wild for no reason at all – most often from my brain secreting stressful memories from things that happened long ago. Reset and course correct. Blessings, Mark
An odd experience, right!? I get that, positionally, posturally, at night sometimes, going to sleep on my back. Flip to stomach … gone. Gratitude for the remedies … š
another brilliant message from a tender heart(s). Will check out this book, Thanks Doc! Saved this Sunday email for last just to anticipate and savor. Ya did not fail me! Lovely. Brought tears to the forefront cause it was so right, on this beginning holiday season! Joy to you and the family as well!
