spiritual practice without religion, or with it. it's optional.
"spiritual practice can be done at any time of the day;
it isn’t necessary to set aside a certain period exclusively for “Spiritual Practice” with a capital S and capital P.
practice can be there at any moment, as we cultivate the energy of mindfulness and concentration.
with mindfulness and concentration, your action becomes a spiritual practice.
With mindfulness, you breathe in, and there you are, well established."
"spiritual practice is possible for all of us.
You cannot say, “I’m just too busy, I have no time for meditation.”
No. Walking from one building to another, walking from the parking lot to your office,
you can always enjoy walking mindfully, and enjoy every one of your steps.
Each step you take in mindfulness can help you release the tension in your body,
release the tension in your feelings,
and bring about healing, joy, and transformation."
"Meditation is offering your genuine presence to yourself in every moment.
It’s the capacity to recognize clearly that every moment is a gift of life, a gift from the Earth and sky.
In Zen, this is known as the joy of meditation.”
Always a wholesome & powerful reminder, thank you. 🕉️

One can drop into meditation during a live symphony.
anyplace anytime anybody.
it increases sensitivity and subtlety of enjoyment and understanding.

And when is the world going to start regulating organized religion? It has done and continues to do immense harm to the living
we have the power to do that.
if we each
drop out of the dried out chrysalis, turn on to a fresh set of metaphors, tune in to a new way to fly.
it's always already there🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
