How you see your future is much more important than what happened in your past. ~ Zig Ziglar
August 31st Daily Meditation Moment
When you practice mindful breathing, the energy generated helps reduce the tension in your body and your feelings. There may be tension in your body, and there may be strong emotions in you, like fear and despair. The energy of mindfulness is embracing, calming, and releasing the tension and suffering. This energy calms you and eases your fear.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
August 30th Daily Meditation Moment
We’re all victimized by the culture that we were born into. This culture doesn’t believe there is any way to be free of suffering. All we believe in, in this culture, is the more pleasure we get the better, the less pain the better. We have to hold on to the stuff that gets us off, and push away the stuff that hurts us. Those methods won’t work very well. This culture doesn’t believe in a love that isn’t based on selfishness. And real love is not based on selfish – it’s based on the true self, who we really are. ~ Krishna Das
