meditation
| | | In April I had the opportunity to spend a five day silent retreat with Adyashanti. This piece on meditation is one of his many profound writings on that unknowable experience. |
| | Meditation
All self forgotten,
having no intention of my own,
every breath by the will of God alone.
Suffused in the primordial darkness
uncreated and eternal,
within the mystic void
subtle streams of stillness move.
All striving ceases.
The subtle stream flows unbound
carrying spirit to its source,
unseen and unknowable.
The primordial ground awakens within itself
and flows out in infinite expression.
The myriad forms cannot help smiling
at such good fortune and grace
as earth and sky reveal
the living body of radiant being.
The whole universe
my intimate companion,
shivering in the night chill -
unbound liberation.
~Adyashanti |

| | Recipe for Joy
Put your attention on your Heart.
Notice what is there.
Watch the thoughts.
Emotions. Thoughts. Body Sensations.
Watching.
Aware.
Be Awareness.
Sink into the depths of That.
From there,
With a gentleness sprung from the deepest part
Of your compassionate True Nature,
Love what is.
Be Still. Be Silence. Be Truth.
Your truth.
Love,
Without condition, judgement, criticism, evaluation,
Love, and
Be Gentle (this may be new to you).
Allow a new Being to emerge
From under the beliefs and concepts
You thought were you.
Love and be gentle.
Watch Joy emerge
As you love what is.
From your gentle, compassionate True Nature,
Allow Joy
To be the miracle
That arises in each moment.
Now and forever,
Now and forever,
Now and forever,
Now.

| | The meditation that I practice, and love to share and teach, The Ishayas’ Ascension, continues to make my life not only more interesting, but more fun, while providing greater peace, joy and contentment than I ever could imagine! Bringing the eyes-closed experience of the silence into your eyes-open life can serve to sharpen and clarify every moment - every bite of food, each movement, the most ordinary act becomes sacred and present. What a gift to give yourself!

Come see how easy it is to live a life of contentment and joy!
