Why We Suffer…

Leave a comment

People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them.  – Peace Pilgrim

us

Life is mostly about us. And therein lies the rub. It’s super hard for us to get out of our own skin. We can’t truly understand the other’s point-of-view.

them

Most relationship problems exist because of the expectations we have of others. And these expectations are born from our own selfish outlook. We must look into our own heart before we attempt to judge others…

What Is Meditation?

Leave a comment

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in pure consciousness, knowing without thinking… – Voltaire

awareness

One goal of meditation is to just become aware of what’s going on without creating thoughts about what’s going on. This practice becomes easier as we just sit and be, regularly. It’s also achievable when we’re amidst nature and just taking in the beauty that surrounds us.

peace

As we reduce the creation of thoughts that describe what’s going on, we begin to experience an ineffable peace. This peace is deeply satisfying and connects us to the ‘pure consciousness’ that undergirds the entire universe!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM simply observing without creating thoughts!
