Ages since I’ve been on this, but glad I didn’t delete it. Feels like a safe space on the internet 💛

“If I’m going to die, the best way to prepare is to quiet my mind and open my heart. If I’m going to live, the best way to prepare is to quiet my mind and open my heart.”

— Ram Dass

“People who exude love are apt to give things away. They are in every way like rivers; they stream. And so when they collect possessions and things they like, they are apt to give them to other people. Because, have you ever noticed that when you start giving things away, you keep getting more?”

— Alan Watts

“Gratitude is the sweetest thing in a seeker’s life—in all human life. If there is gratitude in your heart, then there will be tremendous sweetness in your eyes.”

— Sri Chinmoy

Thoughts, Words and Actions

When your life is in harmony, your thoughts, words and actions all align and work for you. You are able to speak your mind and act with kindness and compassion. When your life is out of harmony, your thoughts, words and actions contradict each other. If you find yourself telling lies, then your words don’t match your thoughts.  If you say you will do something that you won’t do, then your actions don’t match your words. People don’t know your thoughts, they see you as your words and actions.

Like your thoughts influence your words and actions, your actions and words influence your thoughts. When you interact with others, you can demonstrate kindness with words or actions, even if your thoughts are not so kind. Even if you have no kind words, you can be kind in your actions. If you practice kind  words and actions, kind thoughts will follow.

When you are in harmony, kindness flows naturally. If you feel out of harmony, pay close attention to your thoughts. Use your words to ease your thoughts. Use your actions to block destructive impulses. Your thoughts, words and actions are all important to your happiness. Watch them closely and let them work for you to create kindness in the world.

10. Mindfulness I

I remember hearing several years ago that people were getting burnt out on the overuse of the word “mindfulness”, which is super unfortunate. I hope it doesn’t have too many negative associations for you, because it’s a super practical skill!

امشب آروم بخواب خدا از هرچیزی که قراره فردا باهاش روبرو بشی بزرگ تره

Sleep in peace tonight for God is greater than anything you will face tomorrow.

How could you NOT fall in love with the glow of the moon and stars, the warmth of the sun, the ancient life within the trees, and the sweet melodies of the winds?

we talk in circles that take us nowhere, and end up right where we began | self, soul, and everything in between?
