I did it! Completed this month long meditation challenge. @peaknit
“...we don‘t meditate to get better at meditating; we meditate to get better at life,”
“Often it‘s not a matter of solving problems; sometimes a problem dissolves when you shift your relationship to it in a particular way.”
“Our practice is, as much as possible, to recognize our experience without getting lost in old, routine reactions. The point is to be open not just with pain, but with everything.”
“How many pleasures escape our notice because we think we need big, dramatic sensations to feel alive?”
“Often we can take lessons we learn from observing one single activity and apply them to the rest of our life. See if you can use part of your everyday routine as a meditation, a time of coming into a moment, paying attention to your actual experience, learning about yourself, deepening your enjoyment of simple pleasures, or perhaps seeing how you could approach a task more skillfully.” 📸: Yayoi Kusama at the Marciano Art Museum
My kids just told me they were bored and asked if we could go home soon (in tween language this translates to I want to go home and play video games all day) I said no, I‘m m still reading 😂Forced play is a good thing for all 😆💃🏼📖
I‘ve been taking meditation classes at the Buddhist Meditation Center for the past few months & my sister in law got me a few meditation books that I had on my wish list.
Trying to better myself, dammit. Breathe in, breathe out...
This is the most #ORANGEYOUGLAD cover I could find in my Kindle collection. I probably should read this!
Sending hugs to my Litsy family tonight, especially those of us struggling in this slump. I built my #bookpyramid with some #selfhelp authors who have helped me find my smile again. Maybe they'll do the same for you. ?The card sitting in the center is from Kris Carr's Crazy, Sexy Love Notes deck. It reads: "Invite your fears to tea." I'm up for that! ??#photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
Once upon a time. One of the gym workers walked over and asked me what made me so happy on my phone. I introduced her to Litsy. I lived happily ever after. The end.
Picked this up while running errands this morning. Looking forward to reading.
Book mail! (Now how to find time to meditate with a toddler following me around...?)
pickIf you're interested in learning how to meditate and understanding all meditation can do this is a wonderfully written introduction. Easy to follow, interesting and relevant.
