Committed to the Cushion

I have continued in my practice of Mindfulness. Next, I will be exploring Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction with a local certified teacher. The focus is living in the moment? Simple - yes, easy - no, but it gets better with practice, insight and intention.

Lotsa Wheat

Back in '08, I shared a meditation where I had a message to open my heart. Last Wednesday, I received the  sequel.

The Meditation Journey

There is a beautiful song called "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. It highlights the importance of those things along the journey are as important if not more important than the destination. I have found this to be so true in meditation.

A few years ago I began an experiment. I was 20+ pounds overweight and on cholesterol medicine. Both of my parents had high cholesterol and I could have said it was hereditary. Instead I challenged myself to change my diet and exercise regime to see if it made a difference.

Conflict & Resolution

I had a dream last night. It revealed a conflict with another person that I need to resolve.
