Meditation brings wisdom.
Lack of meditation leaves ignorance.

Know well what leads you forward
and what holds you back
and choose the path that leads to Wisdom

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
Grenville Kleiser


Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

Candlelight and lanterns lift up and expand chi energies. These are tools that will illuminate a situation in order to improve it. Burning a red candle in the fame section of your Feng Shui Bagua will enhance your possibilies of recognition in the world.

All of nature brings me Peace. Nature never ceases to amaze me. The galaxy, the universe, the smallest seed beginning to bloom, all of nature is a gift. Butterflies flying elsewhere yearly is a thing of beauty. Trees blossoming and then shedding their leave in the fall is a miracle. The animal kingdom is another blessing.
I always stop to smell the roses (as the saying goes).

Building a spiritual practice in just 10 minutes a day:

Sounds easy, doesn't it?

Then why do we have so much resistance to doing it?

Make today different. and Just do it.

Take 10 minutes today to just sit and be with yourself. If your "monkey mind" is spinning, let that be ok.

Just sit with yourself somewhere quiet and private for 10 minutes.

And if you have the courage...

do it again tomorrow.

Take your new practice one day at a time.

Give yourself permission to miss a day, or even 2.

And then,

if you dare,

do it again.

It may feel uncomfortable.

So what.

Just sit in your chosen space, with all of your angst and resistance, or with your surprising new feeling of surrender, and sit for 10 minutes. Just breathe, you can even let the mind go wherever it goes.

In 30 days, see if you're experiencing any changes.

It may even become a favorite new part of your day.

Namaste

Thankyou for posting those wonderful words, Alexa. I spent a while just sitting, meditating on it, and it felt really good.
