Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness
Aka, "Our Practice: Sharing" is a Returning to our Senses, Why? Who we are, forgotten, taken for granted, most likely, this describes all of us, then Remembering is important, which will lead us to realize how very much more similar we are than we usually think... Got around fifteen minutes, Let me help plant some seeds in your Soul. Mindfulness results from widening one's perspective in meaningful ways. It is more than just using meditation as a tool, it is how you use it that opens the doors. Usually, fellow practitioners don't talk about this or they cover it scantily as it...
Feeling one's Process, it's easy!
You want to get to the bottom of all this,
get past the nonsense and all the gobbledygook Homo sapiens have built upon the "edifice" of being social creatures, part of cultures and many traditions,
ok!
turn inside, pay attention to whom "You" are,
is all one can do anyway, for is it not one's perceptions which paint our pictures of Life (?)
then, expand your horizons, increasing one's perspectives,
living a fuller Life.
hmm, yes, it's easy enough, you need to try, accomplish, and continue...
listen to the rhythms of the falling rain
there are many nuances of Life's Awareness, always shifting, turning, rising, and subsiding....
suggesting to pay attention to all "one" can
the more "we" do, the more we can do
is the definition of practice's value,
may we all shine in our own radiance, kindness, humility, and grace

86,400 moments of Change, everyday
funny, yesterday's title must of scared People, it is not necessarily easy to making the commitment to foster positive change in One Self. No one with experience would say differently, for firstly, understanding how one could stand in another's shoes, when we know we are all different. It immediately raises one's sense of awareness and humility. If we plan it, practice this, we also are appreciative and positive.
This is "mindful meditation" done naturally through what we have learned about humanity. It is a commentary of a cousin's perception.
