Nourish Awareness in Conversation

Applying right speech is difficult in the beginning . . . but if you practice every time you talk to someone, the mind will learn how to be aware, to understand what it should or should not say, and to know when it is necessary to talk.

Mini Mindfulness Break for May 29, 2020

I Heal Myself on All Levels

This is a time of compassion and a time of healing. Go within and connect with that part of yourself that knows how to heal. It is possible. Know that you are in the process of healing. Discover your healing abilities–those that are strong and powerful. You are incredibly capable. Be willing to go to a new level to find abilities and capabilities that you were not aware of so you can truly heal yourself on all possible levels.

Mini Mindfulness Break for April 20, 2020

Atisha says: In the morning remember it is a new day, a new beginning. And have a decision deep in your heart that “Today I am not going to waste this opportunity. Enough is enough! Today I am going to be aware, today I am going to be alert, today I am going to devote as much energy as possible to the single cause, the cause of meditation. I will meditate in all my acts. I will do all the activities, the usual day-to-day activities, but today with a new quality: I will bring the quality of awareness to them.”

Mini Mindfulness Break for December 25, 2019

Wisdom at Work

The desire to know something is wisdom at work. Being mindful is not difficult. But it’s difficult to be continuously aware. For that you need right effort. But it does not require a great deal of energy. It’s relaxed perseverance in reminding yourself to be aware. When you are aware, wisdom unfolds naturally, and there is still more interest.

Mini Mindfulness Break for October 19, 2019

Dear Mother, wherever there is soil, water, rock or air, you are there, nourishing me and giving me life. You are present in every cell of my body… You are more than just my environment. You are nothing less than myself…I promise to be aware that your health and well-being is my own health and well-being. I know I need to keep this awareness alive in me for us both to be peaceful, happy, healthy, and strong.

Mini Mindfulness Break for August 04, 2019

Training the mind and heart in our everyday lives is one way we can bring greater sanity, greater peace to the world. We also can step away from the busy-ness of our world to go deeply into the great potential of the mind, to develop the capacities that are inherently there to be kind and aware. This can happen for anyone, at any age, in any situation. Why not be a Buddha now?

Mini Mindfulness Break for August 03, 2019

Be Aware of the Ebb and Flow

The Now does not come and go, but includes everything all at once. When we’re aware of being in the Now, present moments come and go, like ripples and waves in the ocean of awake awareness.

Mini Mindfulness Break for June 05, 2019

Zen is really just a reminder to stay alive and to be awake.
We tend to daydream all the time, speculating about the future and dwelling on the past. Zen practice is about appreciating your life in this moment. If you are truly aware of five minutes a day, then you are doing pretty well. We are beset by both the future and the past, and there is no reality apart from the here and now.

Enlightenment is always available to you.

“Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive-that you can touch the miracle of being alive-then that is a kind of enlightenment.”
