    Dog Pee, Basil, And The Tricky Nature Of Our Minds

    Dog Pee, Basil, And The Tricky Nature Of Our Minds

    When we don’t pause long enough to really know what’s here, the mind will fill in the holes with its own information from its stores-- and it often does this with the worst case scenario, or in a way that covers up what we might not want to see...  So this is one more reason that practicing moment to moment mindfulness with what’s here is so important in our lives.

    The Way It Is, Lynn Ungar



    One morning you might wake up

    to realize that the knot in your stomach

    had loosened itself and slipped away,

    and that the pit of unfulfilled longing in your heart

    had gradually, and without your really noticing,

    been filled in—patched like a pothole, not quite

    the same as it was, but good enough.



    And in that moment it might occur to you

    that your life, though not the way

    you planned it, and maybe not even entirely

    the way you wanted it, is nonetheless—

    persistently, abundantly, miraculously—

    exactly the way it is.

    Thank You. I Am Grateful For Everything

    Thank You. I Am Grateful For Everything

    Once there was a wise old sage, and people would travel a long ways to receive his teachings. He always taught one thing, a mantra to say to everything in life: Thank you, I am grateful for everything.



    One time a man received this teaching and said it with everything for a year. At the end of the year, he was still irritable, impatient, frustrated and tired. So he traveled back to the wise old sage, shared his story and asked what to do now. The sage said, “Thank you, I am grateful for everything.” The man almost broke down in frustration and then suddenly laughed, saying, “thank you I am grateful for everything,” and left free.



    What changed? How do you make sense of the shift that happened for this man? Understanding the essence of this shift is how we open in the direction of the true authentic healing of mindfulness.
