This Simple Exercise Will Pull You Out Of A Sadness Rut. Despite facing a variety of painful obstacles and difficulties in life, people are often hesitant to describe their experiences as "suffering. " It's typically a word reserved for the most extreme tragedies -- war, poverty, death -- but American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön says that each of us knows what it is like to suffer.

Spiritually, Chödrön uses this word to describe times that are disruptive, that give us anxiety or despair, as she explains to Oprah on an episode of "Super Soul Sunday. " It can be anything from the loss of a job to a family conflict, but the common thread is clear: "Suffering" refers to anything unwanted that makes you uncomfortable.

Twenty years ago, the Rodney King riots had just exploded in Los Angeles, and the image of a fallen man being beaten by police replayed itself over and over on television sets everywhere.

That same week, I went to a talk at the Berkeley Community Theatre featuring Thich Nhat Hanh. The auditorium filled with thousands of people as this small man in robes, little known to me at the time, took the stage.

And then he spoke about his even greater sadness for the men doing the beating―the rage they must have had inside and the deep suffering that would cause them to act out in this way. Thich Nhat Hanh joined a Zen Buddhist monastery in 1942 when he was 16 years old. According to Buddhism, there are four elements of true love.

What must we do in order to understand a person? Death is a Reminder to Live Life Fully.

Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian leader, walked into a garden to give a press conference and was assassinated. As he fell, all he said was “Rām!” The name of God. Meher Baba proclaimed, “The divine Beloved is always with you, in you, and around you. Know that you are not separate from Him.” Aldous Huxley says so beautifully in his novel Island, “So now you can let go, my darling…Let go…Let go of this poor old body. Making peace with death and being fully in the moment allows you to lose yourself in love – in the love of the beauty and awe of God made manifest, in loving yourself and everything else, the suffering, the pain, the joy. One dies as one lives. There comes a point where you really want to clean up your act.

As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the different components of your being and which ones are out of harmony. Divine Guidance 944 | Denise Powell, Spiritual & Psychic Intuitive. Zengardner.

It has survived so long because the layout of the cards is simple, but powerful. A strong energy has built up around this spread due to its use by so many people over the years. You can think of the Celtic Cross as divided into two sections: the Circle/Cross (six cards) on the left, and the Staff (four cards) on the right. (See diagram above.) The feminine energy of the circular section works in unison with the masculine energy of the Staff section. The Circle/Cross section is made up of two crosses - a central one (two cards) nested within a larger cross (six cards). The larger cross consists of two lines that overlay the minicross.

The cards of the Staff section comment on your life and lie outside of the immediate situation.

The Conscious Lifestyle: Awareness Skills - Holding focus. Being centered brings you into the present moment. Paying attention allows you to fully engage in the moment. The next skill, holding focus. When you desire something to come about - a goal, outcome, or solution - keeping focused on it comes naturally. But does awareness have its own power to bring about results?

Several years ago, I was asked to help with the grand opening of a major health club in Boulder, CO. I was hired as the Mind & Body Coordinator. It was a beautiful 40,000 square-foot facility. I was honored to be a candidate for the position. I had dreams for the club. I had visions for where I wanted to take yoga and Pilates on and off the mat in the city of Boulder.

The programs ROCKED, if I do say so myself. We were on the map. I had to give myself a pat on the back. But after a few years, my vision of how the program was going to develop began to differ from corporate. Always the entrepreneur, I had my designs in action. But I felt stuck. I knew it was time to move on, but I was scared to make a change. My position had become my identity. I was paralyzed by fear. One evening, after teaching one of my classes, my boss called me into her office and asked me to step down as manager.

Apparently my visions were too big. I felt like my life had just toppled out from underneath me. Consumed. 10 Life Changing Tips Inspired By Rumi. Stop Judging Everyone So Much (Especially Yourself!)

All of us have movable parts; this is the beauty of it. I know it sounds cliché to call it “The Path,” but for lack of a better word, I will call it The Path. Why shouldn’t my Highest Self and Best Version of Me operate more of the time? I would like to have the parts of me meet, maybe in a bar, probably best in a coffee shop.

Learning to Find Peace in the Confusion and Uncertainty. 2013 has certainly been an interesting ride for me so far. Coming into the beginning of the year, I was riding a big high! My first book had just been published by Hay House, my business was flourishing, opportunities to empower youth and parents were abundantly flowing into my life, I had absolute clarity on my life purpose (or so I thought), and I was in the most heart-opening and love-filled relationship I had ever been in.

I felt like I had finally “made it” and was truly content in all areas of my life! And just as I started to get comfortable, everything began unraveling before my eyes. It started with my relationship ending the first week of the year, and before I could even take the time to heal, my business slowed down to a halt. Doors began closing instead of opening, and for the first time in a long time, I was incredibly confused about who I was and what I was here for. I decided that the universe was clearly creating space for me to do some deep healing and growing. Control Less, Feel More. The need to control sucks out the joy that is freely available in every moment.

Lately i’ve experienced something I never did before to this extent: The lure to control. All while feeling completely out of control. Control of self, control of experience, control of others, control of emotions, control of outcomes… regardless of how I knew everything my mind tried to control would slip out of my fingers as soon as i’d try to reach out. I know the “clarity”, I know the wisdom of “letting go” and “letting be”, but I haven’t experienced the full extent of where the ego mind can lead you, and therefore haven’t put myself in a situation to transcend my biggest fears and emotional blocks.

When big changes, sudden endings and quick turns show up in your life after a period of stagnancy, it’s easy to hold your breath in and tense up. The wounded ego will try every exits possible by searching for relief or more stuff to dwell on, until you decide to take the reins, breathe and let it all be. 10 Ways to Live Forever. Stamatis Moraitis was in his mid-sixties, living in the United States, when he was diagnosed with lung cancer and told he had only nine months to live. He considered taking his doctor’s advice—aggressive chemotherapy—that might prolong his life but wouldn’t cure him.

But upon reflection, he decided to decline it, choosing instead to return to his native Ikaria, a Greek island where he could be buried with his ancestors in a graveyard overlooking the Aegean Sea. He and his wife moved into a small house on a vineyard with his elderly parents, where he expected he would die soon. While he prepared to die, he started going to his old church. He reconnected with old friends over a bottle or two of wine. He even planted vegetables in a garden, not expecting he’d be around to harvest them. He basked in sunshine, savored the salty air, and relished in his love for this wife. Then six months passed, and not only did he not die, he was actually feeling better than ever. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
