    How Easy to be Pulled Away - How Wonderful to Return

    I've been on the road since June 30. Not all of it has been work. There were 5 days with my step-daughter, her hubby and the 3 year old over July 4. Still, I haven't been home. I've been keeping very long hours for work, and I've been away from any recognizable routine. Part of the missing...

    Retraining the brain

    Recently Dan Rather interviewed the Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche in his Dan Rather Reports : Mind Science on the interface between mind science and Buddhist practice. It's an excellent and most interesting introduction to the whole discussion. You might want to take a look. [google]http://video...

    Re: Discuss : Fear and Fearlessness

    Paula, You are so right about that queasy feeling. It always wakes me up to pay attention to what is going on, and usually, it is fear expressing itself as self-protection (self-absorption), or avoidance of the situation. When I am not being reactive, I actually try to use that feeling as a geiger counter...

    Making Choices

    Each moment in our life we get the opportunity to make choices. Fundamentally, our choice is to stay present to what is happening, or to categorize what is happening based on the past, or project what is happening out to the future. I have spent a lot of time in meditation training myself to stay present...

    The End of a Week; The beginning of Spring

    Today is Easter. Depending upon your religious tradition it can be a religious holiday or a sign that spring is here. Perhaps it is both. In Vermont, where I live, it is 28 degrees farenheit and the ground is covered with snow that has melted and re-frozen several times creating glaciers of solid ice...

    The 10% Solution

    It sounded easy enough. Ten percent of the time think about the needs of others before your own. Just 10% of the time. That's a good practice. Sure, I probably already do that.....don't I? Wake up in the morning. Before getting out of bed spend a few minutes setting the intention for the day...

    Re: Discuss: Daily Meditation Practice

    It's been two short years since I started meditating and I have gone into it like a child into cold water...slowly and one step at a time. What I have learned is that the more I practice, it doesn't get easier to schedule because of the hectic nature of my life. However, I work harder to find...

    Discuss : Fear and Fearlessness

    My experience of self-absorption is that it has a tremendous amount to do with my fear of opening up to the huge universe of possiblities. The flip side of that is that when my heart is open to the universe of possiblities, I actually feel joy and not fear! This experience of the choice I have in how...

    Discuss: Dragon Contemplation

    The pain of others can cause me to feel uncomfortable, and like pushing them away. I experience their pain as my own, and I don't like the feeling. This awareness of why I want to react rather than reach out to help has been an enormous revelation to me, and is changing the way I interact with others...
