A mantra. A real situation. One thing someone did with it.
This is a place for reader experiences selected by Tahme Guhn. A useful story can be ordinary, unfinished, and a few sentences long.
From the readers
No reader stories have been published yet. This collection will grow as submissions are reviewed and selected. If a mantra has helped you approach a moment differently, you are welcome to share it.
Share a moment from your life
What words did you return to? What was happening? What did you actually do? You can also tell us what you noticed afterward, even if the situation is still complicated.
How a story gets here
I read submissions before selecting anything for the site. Sending a story does not publish it. I look for a concrete experience, respect for other people’s privacy, and permission to share.
You can choose a pen name or be credited as Anonymous. I may make light edits for length, clarity, and privacy while preserving your meaning. Publication is not guaranteed. Reader stories are personal reflections, not medical guidance or evidence that a method will work for everyone.
