‘Close Your Eyes And See’ ❁ॐ❁ @psychonaut99 - Tumblr Blog

Seeds are magic, potent vessels of nature. They hold the entire intelligent blueprint for life. They can lie dormant for ages before the conditions are ripe for them to burst into life. As a beautiful metaphor for consciousness, a seed represents the divine design within all things.

“The ego is molded when you are young, but it does not stop there. It accumulates patterns throughout your entire life — every time you react blindly to what you are feeling. These impulses imprint deep conditioning into the mind, which affects how you see yourself and the world.”

— Yung Pueblo

“Do not give all your attention away to the mind and the external world. By all means focus on what you are doing, but feel the inner body at the same time whenever possible. Stay rooted within. Then observe how this changes your state of consciousness and the quality of what you are doing.”

— Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

“Meditation is good anytime of day or night. It is good to find a time in your routine to practice meditation, because if you don’t practice regularly, you rarely will decide spontaneously to meditate. If you practice regularly, you will often spontaneously meditate. You might find yourself sitting on a bus, or in a waiting room, or at your desk, or in a meeting, and you will follow your breath and practice being aware of your awareness.”

— Zenmister, Extract from the post Meditation Practice (via zenwords)

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
