Sitting in silence
Is all there is
Even in the midst
Of Monkey Mind’s
Commentary.
My gift to you:
Join us Monday – Friday
8am – 8:30am Mountain
To explore the silent spaces…

Meditation Snacks
Train yourself
Throughout the day to
Activate short
Meditation Snacks.
For instance:
At the top of the hour
Pause and listen
For 30 seconds.
Or
Prior to each meal
Honor the beings
Who grew and made
Your food
Possible.
Or
Twice a day
For five minutes
Do kinhin outside
No matter what the weather.
Or
At Sunrise and Sunset
Purposely bow
In the four directions
To every single thing.
Meditation Snacks nourish us.
Make them simple
To be digested easily.
Utilizing Zen Mind
Embrace the struggle without question.
Watch how accepting what is
Dissolves the rough edges
Creating more spaciousness
For the antidotes to arrive.
Read the above a few times letting the energies of the words seep into your soma.
Choosing Buddha Nature
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!
Fearlessness and Discernment
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.
Keep checking in…
…so you don’t check out…
How?
At the top of each hour ask yourself…
“What’s alive in me right now?”
And listen to the Answer of Awareness.
Remembering…
To let the breath, breathe you.
To let the love, love you.
To let life, live you.
Fully, deeply
Without hesitation,
Remember.
Comfortably Uncomfortable
Much of the work
We do on our cushions
Uplevels us to feeling
Comfortably uncomfortable.
Then…taking it to the streets
Life becomes more spacious.
Witnessing becomes a livelihood.
Contributing becomes a necessity.
Manana!

Strong Heart
Each moment information is delivered to your heart.
Take a moment. This moment. Find your pulse. Listen.
Listen to the rhythm ~the beat ~the gaps of strength between the beat.
Listen for your heart’s wisdom.
What are you hearing…
•Physically?
•Emotionally?
•Mentally?
•Spiritually?
Let yourself be heart embodied.
