While you’re meditating, all kinds of thoughts arise. All kinds of things come through the mind. Let them just come through. Don’t try to say whether they are bad or for that matter particularly good. Just let them come through, as simply as you can. By letting them come through, you find that there’s a sense of openness. You don’t find your thoughts threatening or particularly helpful. They just become the general gossip of your thoughts. This traffic of your thoughts and the verbosity of your mind are simply part of the basic chatter that goes on in the universe. Just let it go through.

Oh My A Post!

Has it been a long time since I’ve posted on here or what? It’s been just as long since I’ve done anything spiritually as well, yikes. I haven’t been sleeping lately because the little one has been nursing through the night. I’ve tried meditating a couple times but I feel like I’m going crazy!

Anyway, I thought about it about 3 minutes ago and it’s time to end my sabbatical and get back to my back to exploring my spiritual side.

I’m going to start by meditating and than maybe reblog a few things, but I’m not sure if I’m going to stick to that order.

This is my daughter Dexee Jane :) She is my everything and the inspiration behind my strong desire for self impovement and spiritual fulfillment. She is also pretty cute.

Joyful Abandon: Meditate More

lazyyogi:

Just came across this old piece of writing of mine, in response to an old ask. Thought it appropriate to repost:

If you feel offended about something, you haven’t been meditating enough.

If you feel the need to defend yourself, or justify your viewpoints, you haven’t been meditating…

A Moment’s Breath of Meditation

This is probably the simplest and most effective form of meditation I have encountered so far. For me that is.

lazyyogi:

Rest your hand upon your chest or heart. Take in a deep breath. Fill yourself with the thoughts and feelings of this one moment. All joys, worries, ideas, pasts, and futures. 

Breathe out. Give it all away. Keep nothing for yourself. Hand it all over to the divine emptiness. 

You are now simple, empty, clean, and open. 

Take a second inhalation. Allow the clear love of breathing in the present to enter you. Smile. Breathe it out, giving it all way again. 

Repeat as necessary. 

Namaste, friends.

Take time to be with something you love in nature that brings out your natural curiosity and delight, It may be a wild iris, the shimmering luminescence of water in a stream, the patterns and colors of a butterfly’s wing. Let yourself be drawn to it. Engage your senses. Are you touched by the sense of wonder?

Joyful Abandon: Step by Step Meditation

lazyyogi:

1. Set a timer (most cell phones have these). I suggest 5 minutes for a true newbie, 10-15 for a beginner, 20-30 for people who are looking to really give it a go. Feel free to start at whatever time and work your way up.

2. Sit in a comfortable place. I usually sit cross-legged in a chair…
