“In my heart, all that our beings want is to rest in a steady, loving space. When this is here, we can relax, our child-like innocence and playfulness comes back, we feel like our self again. But when that loving space is not there for us, or is taken away; we tense, we guard, we worry, we defend, we feel on edge.”
 
The space Rachel holds, and asks others to contribute to, is a loving space. Rachel’s practices and teachings guide us back to a loving presence and a loving space. It is here where healing can take place, where our hearts feel anything is possible, and we can realize our greatness. To know that this space exists every day, our being can rest and settle.
 
Rachel dedicates her being to the settling of all beings in their love.

Rachel’s loving presence is inspired and supported now by:

• the loving teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and Jack Kornfield

• the ALIGN community

• waiting for just one in-breath and one out-breath, feeling this body steady upon this earth, and resting back with the open sky

• her loving family and friends
