Standing Tall with Big Heart: Somatically, Mindfully, Creatively, Unceasingly
Just for today
Align with Buddha Nature.
Allow Buddha Nature
To guide you
In your thoughts
In your actions
In your speech
In your meditations
And mindfulness practices.
Do not abandon yourself
For distractions of the world…
Stay focused with
Living Buddha Nature.
Now watch the alignment of
Love, forgiveness and understanding unfold
Along with a twinkle in your eye!
The art of engaged mindfulness
Is the art of engaged meditation
With you, your oldest and dearest friend.
What does this mean?
Sit on your cushion
And find out…
Again and again and again.

Trust it.
Move with it.
Breathe into it.
Live it.
As you breathe through today
Find moments of fresh quietness
Just you
No thing else.
What chain of events are you perpetuating on this 27th day of January, 2021?Â
Ask your Future Self how these events might evolve one year from now on the 27th day of January, 2022.
Pausing your active life for a moment…
Give your full attenton to your Future Self..
What are you aware of…
Fearlessness and discernment keep each other balanced.
As a spiritual warrior fearlessness is essential.
As a spiritual warrior discernment is necessary.
As they shake hands together
Notice the confidence you have in life…
Once again.
So what to do when in a fearful state?
Analyze? Judge? Binge? Exercise?
Purchase? Educate? Learn?
So many compelling choices to help us shift into another state of being.
Try choosing this simple mantra
Accompanied by deep breathing and a vigourous walk:
I am not Fear.
I am the awareness Fear.
I am the artist of my creation.
It’s simple.
The difficulty is pausing to do it.
The enso is complete
When the brush leaves the rice paper.
It is perfect as it is.
When do you deem yourself perfect?
Embrace what-is in your life.
Steep yourself
In the reality of what-is.
Live from there.
Eliminate thoughts of what-could-have-been.
Notice how much life energy
Is liberated
When it is solely about
What-is.
Update yourself!
Purposely breathe out ~
the illusions
the outdated belief systems
the unfounded narratives
That you created…and held true.
Update yourself!
Burn the deadwood of the past
Plant seeds for the future
Breathe in this ever-changing moment
Let the blessings flow
As we live in this multi-verse
Of new beginnings
With strength, resiliency, empathy and kindness
For ourselves and all sentient beings.
