How To Live Zen…

Leave a comment

There is nothing to do

and nowhere to go.

Accepting this,

we can do everything

and go anywhere.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

conundrum

Life is a conundrum. Mark encapsulates it beautifully as he concludes his beautiful poem. Once we establish our flow with the Universe everything occurs naturally and without great effort. When we think we’re doing it all then life will be a struggle, we’ll never get it done. With full acceptance, life is complete now, but still goes on in a way only an artist can understand…

affirmations

Life continues to flow through me. And I allow it. I feel alive and only goodness, truth and beauty is the result. Love chooses me as I love everyone. I accept all that is and therefore am designedly empowered to be all that I can be. I AM complete and rejoice in the all-that-isness of the eternal now…

Why Be Idle?

Leave a comment

Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.  – George Macdonald

being or doing?

What keeps us from just being, rather than always doing? What do we fear, is it boredom? Do we fear our past or being alone?

just being

Just being allows for deep rejuvenation and connection. Such a non-activity replenishes our body, mind and spirit. It’s time when we can experience self across these 3 dimensions. We allow for healing to  take place. Healing that leads to a healthy body, a clear mind and a purposeful spirit. Why would we not jump at this opportunity?

When you are all right, everything else is all right.  – Vernon Howard

all right?

Are we all right? What’s not right about us? How can we get back on track? What’s missing?

all right

We can be all right. We just need to pause and collect ourselves. We need to slow down. We should be calmer. When the river of stillness has descended into our being, we’ll fall back on track. We’ll be all right.

Why We Should Listen…

Leave a comment

Learn to listen, and reality will show you…  – Vernon Howard

listen?

How much do we truly listen? Forget listening to others, how much do we listen to nature and to reality around us? How quiet can our minds become?

stillness

Stillness is the fertile ground upon which deep listening can be based. When our minds are calm and collected we’ll hear the lightest whispers and sense the deepest colors. We’ll be connected to ‘All That Is’ and in that eternal moment we’ll be at peace.
