    Health, fitness & wellbeing

    I guess this looks like it is a topic which is getting some discussion. So lets explore it a bit. What does health, fitness or wellbeing mean to you?

    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...

    Re: Discuss: Lion Contemplation

    Geri, what an amazing insight! This is truly integrating what you are practicing into your life. Talking about joy coming from within and from connection to the happiness of others sounds trite or unbelievable if it is not made real as you have done in sharing this story. Your dedication to your practice...

    Re: Discuss: Daily Meditation Practice

    I have not read that book, but certainly have experienced being hard on myself for not living up to my own expectations! Gentleness is the key, and also realizing that when we start to practice again, after a gap of not doing so, our practice is still informed by all that we have done in the meanwhile...

    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.

    Re: Discuss: Self-absorption

    Geri, you mentioned that you wished you could know how the Dalai Lama was responding to events in Tibet. Yesterday I recieved this email, which I will pass along to all in this discussion. The practice of Tonglen which is described here, is clearly a practice for dissolving our self-absorption, and is...
