Good morning.

This is my idea of a perfect relationship. Planting seeds, cheering each other on, and lots of love.

Happy Sunday, my friends❤️ Xx

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.

The Power of Observation

In bringing about change in your life and in the world, the first thing to do is to observe. Merely by observing something, you change that thing. That is not so obvious with something like a table, or a star in the sky, but in your life, it is easy to observe.

Try to observe your breath. Watch your inhale and exhale. Try not to affect your breath as you observe it. Try to watch it without changing it. Impossible. The same is true of your thoughts. If you constantly observe your own thinking, your thinking will change. Try not to control your thinking, or judge your thinking, just observe your thoughts and see how their patterns change.

It is difficult to observe your thoughts without judging them. Most thoughts are followed by a judgement, good, bad, true, false, strange. These judgements are also thoughts to be observed. As you observe your thoughts, you will notice habits and patterns in your thinking. Because you observe them, those patterns will change.

It is impossible to observe without interfering. If you try to observe things without interfering, you will notice things fall into harmony. See for yourself.

In association with the music boxes, may I add Madeon’s Adventure Machine. You don’t have to be a fan to have some fun with this thing.

I also have found great calming (oddly) from playing Sushi Cat and its sequels, available for free on Armor Games: http://armorgames.com/play/5379/sushi-cat

It’s free, very cute, has cute music and animations, and is oddly meditative. Yes, I spent 3 hours on the bathroom floor playing it once during a very anxious family visit.
