Mini Mindfulness Break for March 16, 2020

“Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares
which will not withdraw from us.
We need hours of aimless wandering,
or spates of time sitting on park benches,
observing the mysterious world of ants
and the canopy of trees.”

– Maya Angelou

Eustress

Father Eli teaches that strain or eustress is necessary for life. For example, to develop a muscle, we put a load in it with weights or having to pull something. As long as we don’t increase the load by too much in a given interval of time, the muscle with grow to meet the demand of the new weight.

When we make a commitment, our commitment is always to presence, not to what we’re committed to. If we focus on the commitment itself, conditioning distracts our attention from process to content. When a commitment becomes the end in itself it’s an instrument of suffering.

The Subtle Means of Mindfulness

What makes mindfulness so potent a medicine is not the power of a single cataclysmic event, but the imperceptible way it permeates the everyday activities that shape our lives.

City Living

Living in a big city, sometimes we feel that we don’t know our neighbors but actually we know them well. They want pleasure and don’t want pain. This realization of similarity is not superficial; to know that each of us has hairs in the nose means we can always know something about others by reflecting on that fact.

Mini Mindfulness Break for March 08, 2020

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
When doubt no longer exists for you then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-as it surely will. Then act with courage.

Growing through Pain

The meditation orientation is not about fixing pain or making it better. It’s about looking deeply into the nature of pain–making use of it in certain ways that might allow us to grow. In that growing, things will change, and we have the potential to make choices that will move us toward greater wisdom and compassion, including self-compassion, and thus toward freedom from suffering.
