Dropping Guilt

Description:
Choose an activity you really like to do, for example, going to the movies. Notice, when you are at the movies,
any self-critical thoughts passing through the mind. They are usually accompanied by “should” and “ought”. “I should  have gone to exercise at the gym”, “I ought to be cleaning out the kitchen cupboards”, instead of sitting here enjoying this movie! 

Remind yourself that down-time, fun-time, is important for your well being.The more you keep yourself in a positive, celebatory state of mind, the more you relax and attract good things. Staying in the present moment,watching a movie, the more you enjoy it, which is energizing and revitalizing.

Benefits:
More joy and energy after the movie for exercising, cleaning and sharing with friends and family.

 

   

Silence of the Night

Description:
Before you go to bed at night, alone or with a partner, sit silently, look into the darkness. Become one with the dark, disappear into it. Look at the stars — feel the distance, the silence, the emptiness, and use night for your meditation.

Sitting on your bed, or on your balcony, or in your garden, doing nothing…just feeling,just being there. The day is worldly, the night is more spiritual. Over time you feel tremendously in tune with night. The world is asleep. Everything stops, traffic, noises, the mundane world is quiet. People, their unconsciousness, bad attitudes, have all disappeared into sleep. The atmosphere is clean with no jarring note.

Benefits:
Start enjoying the beauty of the night and feel it more and more. Absorb the tranquility, serenity, and comfort night offers. Your sleep then carries a quality of meditation and in the morning you feel refreshed in a whole new way.

Night is tremendously beautiful. It is a good time for meditation. It helps you release the tensions of the day easily,offortlessly.

Confusion

Description:
Confusion is part of life. It is a good thing. It shows you are alive, growing. Accept it. The moment you accept that “I don’t know”, all confusion evaporates. Life is a great mystery because it is based on paradox.We only get confused because we have a certain fixed idea on how life should be. The mind gets stuck on old rigidities and limitations.

When and Where:
When you feel confused, accept it. Allow yourself to not know. In this not-knowing there is great freedom to be in the present moment and allow something new to arise.

Benefits:
The heart never gets confused. It simply knows. The mind gets confused because it is trying to holdvon to old rigid patterns. Recognizing what is going on helps you to drop down into your heart and TRUST.
