Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness

Aka, "Our Practice: Sharing" is a Returning to our Senses, Why? Who we are, forgotten, taken for granted, most likely, this describes all of us, then Remembering is important, which will lead us to realize how very much more similar we are than we usually think... Got around fifteen minutes, Let me help plant some seeds in your Soul. Mindfulness results from widening one's perspective in meaningful ways. It is more than just using meditation as a tool, it is how you use it that opens the doors. Usually, fellow practitioners don't talk about this or they cover it scantily as it takes a deep dive of investigating our Selves and gets personal real quick. Depth is how we learn to distinguish our foundation, sure we might stumble or step on some toes, yet, honesty & authenticity is what acts as our springboard to Success. Open mindedness is an important key.

My goal is yours, to improve in a soulful, harmonious manner. Simple experiences can lead to natural, easy ways to greater self awareness and clarity. There is no mystical or religious tone here, just accumulated scientific wisdom. Don't think that your possibilities are limited from the outside, it is more "our selves thinking" that limit whom we are. Change, as in "all of the Universe" constantly shifting, is actually part of our gift as it is always nudging us, jostling us to respond or react, bingo, that is whom we are, whom we are.... now. If you are as tired of failure as I have been, if you want to change your Life in positive ways without mumbo jumbo, if you are disappointed when help starts asking for money, and if you are ready to commit (not to me), but to your Self, to your Practice, then welcome aboard. If not, we are always here.

The cost is still considerable, not in currency, it is in your commitment of time, I don't take it lightly, 15 minutes of formal mediation is a lot, begun best at the beginning of one's day (better to benefit you), we accept all forms of excuses when you can't, but understand, it is "practice" that actually helps one improve. Even if you can make 5 minutes that will do to start. What this means is "you" are beginning to develop "whom you want to be" in your practice sessions. If you are not there or not being attentive, or not committing, then how can you expect to proceed and succeed? Many live and die, never to know what it means to be fully alive, never appreciating the simple gift of life we have been given.

Good morning, good morning, good morning to all of us. We're here, we've made it, we're alive. Another day, another journey, another passage through time. How lucky we are to be here in the first place. We each have our problems, our obstacles, altercations, as well as we have joy, appreciation, gratitude, successes. We need to balance them as best we can. Understanding we do have a role to play in the way our future is progressing before us.

Speaker 0:43

It is us that are moving. We are in motion. How are we choosing to move, to be, or not to be? This is the question. In what direction does one proceed? Do we listen and be more receptive to our better senses, of our evolutionary history, of being virtuous, having a greater and wider perspective, one filled with more understanding and kindness, compassion, empathy. What are our choices we are making? Mindful meditation is this pursuit. It is not just a practice of focusing and concentration, it is a "practice living life." This is where we are. This is having a self-realization, being what we actually are, this body we possess, this physicality in a sense we share, finding one's foundation, finding a sense of being a witness to physical reality, harnessing one's senses, catapulting oneself into a greater realm of perspective, sensitivity, gathering our capabilities, our forces, so to speak, to help us prosper on our day's journey, our moment's direction. The ship of life is in some way oscillating, even when it is apparently not, when it is in an eddy, seemingly moving nowhere. There is still an oscillation. Maybe we can call this doubt or confusion or necessary analysis, better understanding. How are we perceiving what we're doing? Leading toward either negative or positive decisions.

Speaker 3:24

Remembering our hands, our bodies, our spirits, our helping guide us, or not, perhaps relinquishing in essence with a sense of naivete or ignorance, leaving our direction to fate, or the direction of others, or a compromise. Being part of our human race, Homo sapiens. We have responsibilities, social responsibilities, stewardships to consider.

Speaker 4:07

Knowing we are bundles of miracles is a beginning. Having this realization is also a beginning of having a sense of humility as our mind's eye broadens from atop the pyramid of life. You see the picture of the pyramid on dollars or as an Egyptian hieroglyphics. The eye is all seeing because of its height, because it has increased its sense of visibility. This is meditation's goal.

Speaker 4:56

Having this sense of humility rising into awe. One begins to initiate instantaneously in meditation, one's bodily awareness to form one's foundation, to help one catapult oneself into a wider perspective, beginning where? Again, in our breathing, in our breath, in our pulse, in our heart squeezing, in our warmth, emanating, the vibration underlying these three. Our life itself, shimmering, ecstatically, focusing, concentrating, feeling the ecstasy of one's being alive. We are here now, present, not in the past nor future, present, evaluating, witnessing objectively our place, roles in the universe.

Speaker 6:19

It is what we are doing in every moment of time. No matter how great one or how narrow one is thinking, it is still descriptive of oneself. Seeking with a sense of kindness more, understanding, compassion, empathy, because we are humankind. We are imperfect by nature. We have been going through evolution for millions of years. Look how much has been in a sense manipulated, created, invented, experienced, come to know more about in the last few thousand years. Not a lot of time.

Speaker 7:14

This is man's potential, capability to do all these things which we can see have been done. In many ways, it seems endless to the possibilities of mankind. For we at least have a conception of, even if it's one hundred thousandth of what is, it is still something we share. There is an energy source seeking to know more, to experience more, to share. It is us, each, all, in some way or form. Bundles of miracles, humbled in awe, thankful. The music is going to continue for another minute. Enjoy your day. Play, play, play. Life is to be enjoyed. Whistle while you work, whistle while you work, whistle while you work. namaste
