As we continue our practice,
we understand that we are equal in
the kingdom of god.
If the present moment has peace, joy and happiness,
the future will have it too

"The way through the challenge is to get still and ask yourself, what is the next right move" ~Oprah
If you imagine your body with no head,
you will notice that your thoughts start to recede.

but I do meditate daily
Over a few months or years of practice, sleep can be overcome.
"Not only everyday, but every moment"
Practice every moment. There is another one I will post in which he says that if I do not practice, I will dry up. Very practical and profound.
And this turned out to be the Thich Nhat Hanh day on BAM (beameditator.com)

The first thing that happens when you re-enter the present moment is that you become aware of your sense perceptions.

Mind: Its too much ... can I put some thoughts down ... it will help me relax
Me: Yes, just follow the breath
Observe your feelings as though they are waves passing by your boat.

Watch the thought as you would watch a dog walk past you. You need not follow it.
An alertness is required.

Quote: Inspired by Eckhart Tolle.
If you treat this moment as though it is complete,
then you don't get continuously drawn into
events, and thoughts, and emotions, and actions.
Inspired by a quote from Eckhart Tolle
There will be high notes, there will be low notes,
The question is, is the music passing you by?
And all you have to do is to pause, and listen
"As you sit here, is it possible for you to simply watch what is happening around you, without adding any interpretation to it" - Eckhart Tolle
With the whole world closed out,
With total commitment,
With a feeling heart,
Practice every day
Every day I will meditate more deeply than I did yesterday.
Inspired by a quote from Paramhansa Yogananda
The body must be still ...
The feelings must be still ...
The mind must be still ...
I have never noticed if my feelings were ever still ...
The advantage of meditating early in the morning or late at night in urban areas,
is that there is less noise and less chance of being disturbed.
Those who can afford it should have a room or a screened-off corner, used exclusively for the purpose of meditation.
I should be the change I publish on this website :P
Over time it does cessate ... wait a minute, is that even a word ... stop ... still ... those are better words.
Consider Meditation too as karm yog;
Action, without desire for the fruit of action.
Inspired by a quote by Paramhansa Yogananda
Thought says, "Love me or hate me, just don't notice me non-judgmentally. It makes me want to go away."
So now you know what to do?
You cannot force a thought away.
You can allow it to dissipate by simply noticing it.
And then the mind can return to its anchor
Meditation requires fearlessness, to boldly face all the beauty and the ugliness of the inner world.
Sit near a tree and touch the bark of the tree.
Close your eyes and feel the life arising in the tree.
Take someone's hand in your hand,
close your eyes and feel the life in the others
Stillness softens old patterns, it slows them down, it makes it easier for us to choose a new path.
Spot the difference?
