Allies for Freeing the Heart (online)

The Five Spiritual Faculties – trust, energy, mindfulness, collectedness and discernment - are considered to be cultivations that lead the mind into awakening. When developed, these qualities enable attunement to all of our experience as it arises in each moment, supporting a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
