 The Joy of No Sex
The Buddha taught that sexual activity is part and parcel of craving (kama-tanha, the craving for sensuality), described in the second noble truth as the cause of suffering, a source of clinging and attachment (upadana, or attachment to sensual pleasure), a hindrance to meditation and a fetter or obstruction to liberation. More obstructive than the object of desire itself is the mental activity we generate around it–the constant thinking and planning and anticipation about how we get the goods. When sex is involved, kama-tanha is a given. When sex is not involved, it can be easier to see how kama-tanha takes over. – Mary Talbot, “The Joy of No Sex” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is the kind of love you share with someone when there are no strings attached.

You love them unconditionally. – Jerome Freedman, Mindfulness Breaks: Your Path to Awakening Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Wash the dishes relaxingly, as though each bowl is an object of contemplation. Consider each bowl as sacred. Follow your breath to prevent your mind from straying. Do not try to hurry to get the job over with. Consider washing the dishes the most important thing in life.

 We have the wise guidance to “not seek after enlightenment, simply cease to cherish opinions.” Having opinions about other’s opinions comes to the same thing! We just hightail it back to thisherenow, back to conscious, compassionate awareness.

 The process of communication can be beautiful, if we see it in terms of simplicity and precision. Every pause made in the process of speaking becomes a kind of punctuation. Speak, allow space, speak, allow space. It does not have to be a formal and solemn occasion, but it is beautiful that you are not rushing.
