Meditation, Buddhism and how to still your mind
Buddhism teaches us that our ability to be aware of and deal with our constantly changing states of mind is of great importance. Meditation trains us to be able to respond to the world in a way that will allow us to maintain a still mind. As we move about and have our being in…
Meditation technique for stress
This meditation technique will help relieve stress in minutes. Wherever you are; seek out a quiet place. Try to sit upright in a flat back chair with your feet firmly on the floor with your arms by your side, or rest comfortably on a couch. If limited physically, lay down on a flat surface. Without effort become aware of…
Motivation – In self and others
One of the many useful by-products of meditation is the ability to witness our own hidden motivations. During the observation technique we will begin to see the true motives behind the recent events in our daily lives. In those events, we may have found ourselves in an emotionally charged situation, and have been knocked off…
Limitless you or the I in “I am”
Limitless you. Have you realized that yet? Your inner space is infinite. That is the essence of who you are. Go inside and find all that you require. Outside and about you, all is transient and ever changing. People, places and things necessarily coming and going. Your body/mind will necessarily go as well. Here and…
Forcing change
As you practice present moment awareness there is no doubt that you will see changes, but demanding immediate profound results is evidence of immaturity. Awareness will trigger change in due time. Don’t force change. Forcing and manipulating have actually served to stunt real growth. Here is the dynamic: You are unaware of the resentment you…

Whenever we leave the security of the here and now, we tread into uncharted waters. The mind with it’s fertile imagination mostly chooses catastrophic images. Why does this…
Courage to overcome your ego
You have a rather serious battle in front of you. As you begin to be inner rather than outer directed, expect to face opposition from your persistent ego. That same ego that has been calling the shots all along. This ego’s very existence is threatened when you rely on and take your cues from your…
Conscience
[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin conscientia, from consciens, conscient- present participle of conscere, to be conscious of : com-, intensive pref.; see com- + scire, to know; see skei- in Indo-European Roots.] “You see this? This is this. This ain’t somethin’ else. This is this.” Robert De Niro as Michael Vronsky in The…
Pause that refreshes by meditation
If you’re weary, disillusioned and the irrational actions of others throw you for a loop; take a pause. If the insanity of world events cause you to despair and tremble; take a pause. There is a place you can always go to for peace and respite from all the madness. Retreat and go within. Find…
Don’t push too hard
Your inner source of strength will provide all the power you’ll ever require to draw that which you truly desire. Effective use of this inner strength does not require that you push, rather a subtle pulling dynamic is more appropriate. When individuals lean into you and are pushy or manipulative, your natural reaction is to…
