    Re: Discuss : Fear and Fearlessness

    Fear to me comes in many disguises. I am so glad one has been identified here as the queasy feeling. Thank you all for your posts as this is a trait that I have expertly put away and ignored for most of my life. Now I will follow in your footsteps and use the geiger counter of queasiness with an open...

    Get One Thing Done

    Hi Everyone, I agree with Dave in that it is so very interesting seeing and realizing we all share the same struggles and yet here we are involved in learning, seeking awareness and understanding together. Doesn't make our challenges to grow any easier, but to me it makes it lighter - knowing you...

    Re: Discuss: Garuda Contemplation

    Hey Amanda, as I read your post I find myself relating to the same notion of needing praise. I have difficulty catching it in action and I have 'worked' on this in various ways over the years. But we go on... working toward change. One tool I use is to not allow speculation of the feared concept...

    Re: Reclaim Your Attention

    Hello, Attention in itself is a strange thing too. It is always focused on 'something' or it wouldn't be attention.(I guess) When I first read about the kitchen door 'trick' I found it an amazingly good idea. Then I realized that it would lessen the frequency of giving attention to...

    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...
