Day 7 - Calm

This is our last day to discuss being calm and how to do so. I also want to let you know that there will be some changes to how I update my meditation discussions going forward. I will send out another blog soon with more information.

I will not quote that saying about what assumptions do to you.  However, we do it alot. We try to outthink situations with our own bias because we just know it is right. Those who attempt to be calmer in their life will have the time and space in their mind to stop and think about a situation before they make an assumption that is wrong.  Think before you speak is very important and also think before you act as well. Mediate on finding calm and carrying it with you to avoid these pitfalls.

Day 6 - Calm

Merry Christmas! Today may be a calm day for you but for most of us spending time with family is not exactly calming. Thich Nhat Hanh provides for you in his quote some ways to find calm. Sometimes just taking a step outside helps. Today where I live it will be in the 70s. Not exactly Christmas weather for most but it does allow for time outside. Take some time today to find your calm and try to carry it with you.

Day 5 - Calm

Because we are distinctly different each of us has a part of the universe in us. A part that is the best and can be a shining light. Don't let anyone else who has not discovered this truth dim your light. Each day take a calm moment in meditation and find that light within. Shine bright and never forget how important you are to those around you.

Day 4 - Calm

Be the Bamboo! Bend but don't break. Show calmness in the face of adversity. In the world of chakras you are to ground and center. This means that you should focus your energy on your root chakra which when sitting is the ground and center your mind down the central meridian of your body. This will provide calmness and peace to you. Calmness is never easy but learning the tools will help you deal with people and situations that can frustrate or anger you. You are a light and when you are calm rays of the light shine from you.

Day 3 - Calm

Rushing around, constantly having something to do, feeling all tied up...this is the life for most of us. But I will tell you now after two or more years of daily meditation, I can not tell when I am holding things in. For some reason this week, my shoulders have felt tight and a little sore. Immediately I thought that I am holding something that I need to let go of. Your body is a mirror of your mind. If you mind is cluttered and frustrated your body will have issues also. One of my favorite movies it Contact with Jody Foster and I think some of it is because of the scene where they insist upon putting a chair in the machine when it was not in the specs. They are trying to control this event in someway. What we find out is that the chair is dangerous and causes the trip to be less enjoyable until she gets out of it. So get out of the chair and float see the beauty around you and sometimes just allow life to happen.

Day 2 - Calm

I have found this quote to be true. It may not completely wipe it out but it can help you better able deal with pain. As I have mentioned before, I have peripheral neuropathy that we have not found a cause for. I am on pain medications that dull it most of the time but while I was finding out what to do, I used meditation to help me get through some of the pain. I had seen stories of others who while meditating focused on sending healing to areas of pain and I used that tool to help me also. Calmness in mind can lead to a calm physical body. Mind over matter is a true thought and you too can use meditation to help you.
