This is an activity for mind, which helps to keep body and soul in harmony. If to look at someone in the process of meditation, it might seem to be easy – just sitting there in the lotus position, with your eyes being closed, doing nothing. Simple as that. The only difference is that it seems easy physically because you are static but your mind works. What is important is to be able to concentrate especially meditating somewhere on the fresh air. Being outside, different noises always...

-- Quote of the Day -- “ I used to believe I was going in the wrong direction sometimes… it is important to accept my life experiences and learn from them… accept your personal accountability for what happens and move on. …Instead of worrying about the fairness of it all we must learn to be a river – go with the flow. …We all have an invisible bucket – and that is a great way to picture our feelings. When our bucket is full we are having positive feelings joyful, happy, …grateful. When our buckets are empty we might be sad or angry or jealous or any of these negative feelings. We can choose to be a bucket filler or a bucket dipper. A bucket filler helps make other people feel good by the things we do and say; a bucket dipper does just the opposite. The best way to keep our bucket full, is to fill other people’s buckets. …we are in charge of our buckets, all the time .” Stacey Lundgren ~ June 24, 2010 Today's quote came from an interview with Stacey on the Conscious Discussions ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “… After beginning to meditate, it became very clear to me that I could stay on a psychological emotional realm forever, because the mind will constantly produce problems, thoughts that bother us and on and on and on. And the only way to get off that wheel is to learn how to contemplate and meditate and go within to our own inner wisdom. …Focusing on what does not work only reinforces the issue if it is a repetitive thought however if our negative belief is unconscious to us, that is - we don’t know what they are, it will cause us to repeat the action again and again and again. …You are not focusing on a negative belief you are digging up and discovering the unconscious beliefs. …Repetitive patterns are creating a negative reality. …If it is not working, then that means we are being run by our unconscious mind .” ~ Sheila Radha - May 21, ’09 Today's quote is excerpted from an conversation with Sheila Radha on the Conscious Discussions radio show about how we...
