Reblogged from dimitri seneca snowden:

the future isn't a place to go, it's something to create.

So, right here, right now, let's create something different... let's turn our talents, attention, breath, focus, intention, love, and magic toward creating the world we want rather than living in a world that continues to exploit, continues to pit each other against one another, continues to shame us, continues to tell us whom to love, to to be friends with, how to live, how to die, and whom to worship. Let's start right now, not tomorrow, not Monday morning, but right now... let's free ourselves from believing that it won't change... we have the courage and the ability to change and to make this life, this moment count!

From the Bhagavad Gita

DEATH AND TRANSMIGRATION OF SOUL

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/gita/agsgita.htm

Just as a person puts on new garments after discarding the old ones; similarly, the living spirit or the individual soul acquires new bodies after casting away the old bodies. (2.22)

Weapons do not cut this Spirit, fire does not burn it, water does not make it wet, and the wind does not make it dry.

Reblogged from Self Blossoming:

At the time of death, only two questions matter:

1. How much knowledge have you gained? (What lessons have you learnt and what lessons do you have to come back to finish learning?)

2. How much Love you have given?

Love is the main essence of our existence. We come back only for Love. And Knowledge is the way towards Love. Recognise it Now.

Time and time again, I see posts, quotes, and lessons that are very similar to this... and what I realize is that there seem to be only two things that are important in life... breath and love... is there really anything else???? Lovely post. thanks for offering it to us!

Moods and Habit Patterns

Reblogged from Life is but a dream!:

"One way to understand moods is that they are just the habit patterns of our mind continually playing themselves out in different scenarios. According to the view of Dharma, we don't need to understand them or consider them so much as we need to replace them with new habits. This is where practice comes in. When we practice, we involve our body, emotions and mind in a new habit which is much more "real" in the sense that it is in line with the reality of enlightenment.

Why We Should Be Like Water & Live With Ease

It is so easy to toughen under stress, to tense and tighten to carry the load.  Perhaps it is time to learn from the water around us.  Water is a most powerful force, able to carve mountains into great valleys, move enormous loads, and traverse even the most inhospitable terrain.  Water is able to this without rigidity, without tension.  It flows around obstacles, slowly wearing them away rather than getting stuck behind the barrier.

Just mentioned to a friend, in an email, how hard it is to come back from retreat, where being so openhearted is the norm for so many of us, and feeling an instinctive need to harden and push things away. This is a great reminder in our need to balance and being able to flow with what is, wherever we find ourselves. Lovely post!

Self-compassion and awareness are the qualities we need to start to heal our mind and body. Bringing mindfulness to a problem is the beginning of change. Paying attention to a process is changing the process! Even before any behavior changes.

Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist, award-winning lecturer at Stanford University, and leading expert on the mind-body relationship.

As always, another great post from Beyond Meds. Check out this article on self-compassion and neuroscience. I've read some things that have come out of the Mind Science talks but there is so much more to know. Any tool we have to helping us cultivate deep listening, compassionate speech, heartfelt gratitude, and abiding care for others is soo needed in today's world. Peace to you all. Jennifer

Mindfulness & Pain

Posted in Mindfulness & Buddhism, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

“But the transformation I was seeking wasn’t to be found in what happened to the pain; it would be found in what happened within me in relationship to it.  It would be found in opening rather than closing down, in compassion for myself rather than contempt.

All I could do was deal with whatever experience I was actually facing, and add one more drop to the bucket, one more moment of mindfulness, of transforming my relationship to suffering.  Realizing this, I let go of my impatient expectation and edged out of the despotic reign of time.  And kept on practicing.”  Tara Brach
