Both CNN and MSNBC aired Michelle Obama’s full speech, but apparently it was too true for Fox News.

It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.

For some reason i've been in my head a lot, i've been thinking about the moment right ahead or about something right after i do it. Do you have any suggestions that could help me control it?

It is your tendency toward control that has created this problem in the first place. Our mind’s habit of thinking and planning is our way of trying to control the uncontrollable. 

The present moment cannot be controlled. The more you try to control, the more you will find yourself fixating on the future and dwelling on the past. This is because neither the future nor the past exists outside of your mind. Therefore they are easier to control. 

The present moment is alive. You cannot surf a wave unless you have on some level surrendered to it. And the same goes with the present moment. If you do not on some level surrender to the reality of the present moment, then the mind will continue to cover everything up with words and stories and imaginations. 

To surrender means the mind becomes quiet. For the mind to become quiet, you must surrender. 

Daily meditation will give you a sense of what this means. In meditation, you do not force your mind to silence. Instead, you willfully stop the deliberate act of thinking. Thoughts may still arise. If you surrender and let it be as it is, then the thoughts go the same way that they came. But if you try to control, clinging to pleasant thoughts and pushing away unpleasant ones, then you get pulled back into thinking and trains of thought. 

To surrender does not mean to give up. It means you stop trying to make everything go “my way” because in truth you do not know what you really want. It is not until the mind is quiet and we feel at peace that we truly know what we want. 

A book I would highly recommend for you is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. 

Namaste :)

We have been conditioned to feel that we lack something and so we are always trying to add something to ourselves in order to feel whole.

We seek to add security, self-esteem, externalized love, material things, and more. Yet as drinking saltwater only makes you more thirsty, none of those things are ever finally enough.

It is not by adding things to yourself that you will know peace. It is by ridding yourself of the illusory conditions that make it seem necessary in the first place. You don’t need security, you need to dissolve your insecurity. You don’t need self-esteem, you need to let go of doubt.

Always discern what it is from which you need to be free, not what you need added to you.

You are always and already whole. The only question is what delusion you must be free from in order to recognize this for yourself.

i sat down with the universe and told her i wanted to grow. i told her to use me as a vessel. so she made me uncomfortable. she stripped me of everything i knew. made me learn how to be silent, how to let go, how to move on, how to stand my ground, how to be more understanding, how to fight, how to survive, how to be more assertive, more loving, less naive. she told me to take everything i have learned and share it with others. and so here i am today. uncomfortable, heartbroken, but i am growing so fucking much. i am improving every second. and I have beautiful words to share. i am full of wisdom and my pain only teaches me even more that love is so important. there is no room for bitterness here. i have to keep going no matter what.

Fuck with my brain.. (A yogi's nightmare)

When you sit in your room and cry your eyes out.. Your tired of everything.. And you have no one to blame but yourself. You’ve done all of this too yourself.. And you stare at the meds… You’ve gone over and over about how much you don’t want to take them. That you don’t need the help, but your thoughts are so crippling, your brought to your knees in a quick second. You’ve never been a crier.. But oh this month crying everyday at work is just a rough patch and you’ll be fine in no time, right?… Social and general anxiety is my personal hell. The thick blanket draped over me that doesn’t let the air in.. so I try to find my way out for that fresh crisp air but I can’t find the edge of it… can’t find the end.. So I’m stuck in the darkness feeling my way around.. Trying to breath.. Trying not to panic.. Trying not to think… Because my thoughts are my worst enemy. They’ve turned against me, taking the knife out of my hands and pricking me with little stabs just enough to annoy the living hell out of me… Over and over and over. So it’s you and I, sertraline.. And my anxiety is scared as fuck to place you on my moist tongue.. but I’ll have you slide to the back of my throat.. all the way down to my stomach.. only to dissolve and FUCK with my brain. Am I happy yet?

Just wrap me up inside of the moon.. I'll be safe there

Love tickles..

[yogasticearthchild]

This beautiful spirit inside.. Buried underneath all of this anxiety..

[yogasticearthchild]

Wishing it was you inside of me and not this vibrating plastic machine…

[yogasticearthchild]

Love softly whispers upon my skin, Delicately running its fingers through my thoughts, Tickling so lightly; bringing about a smile, Happiness swoons me into submission.

As I lay here naked, my eyes close shut.. Avoiding the eyes of the man directly looking at all my vulnerabilities out on display

Letting go and embracing change with arms closed tight.. uncomfortableness wraps around you like a quilt wrapped around a child on a winter night. Fighting against every inch, every warmth, every tightness in this embrace. There’s no escaping, this long awaited fate. For you are in change now. And change is in you. Soft whispers into your ear, while you are squeezed into a new. “let go now, for I am here. Only to guide you right, showing you the beauty in my care. If you just relax now my child, I can let you see how beautiful I can be. So let go, because I will always find a way to meet”. ~me, nerdi_yogi
