enna Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Another great talk by Tara Brach ~ The Buddha taught that this entire world arises out of the tip of intention. In this new talk, Tara explores the qualities that signify a liberating intention and how, by bringing presence to our current intention, we can uncover the purity and power of our heart's true aspiration.

mfh Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Anne, I think walking meditation is a great way for all of us to learn how to slow down and just be. Thanks for this. Next weekend I will be attending a 3 day retreat with Sharon Salzberg and we will do a LOT of walking meditation. (I have a baby sitter for Bentley. I come home in late afternoon earlier if needed. ). I will share ideas here. This link takes you to a site that makes mindfulness as easy as it can get. Enjoy. http://gillycannon.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-be-mindful-when-your-mind-is.html?spref=fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralfae Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Mary, Thank you for the link to the mindfulness easy exercise. It is clearly described. Belleruth also uses walking meditations on her various CDs. I am going to try to find the video in which Tara talks about holding good feelings and thoughts. I know it is on Youtube. I remember her her writing about this in True Refuge, but there is also a video where she focuses more explicitly on finding and holding good thoughts and feelings to re-pattern the brain away from painful feelings and thoughts, and training the brain to hold more healthy thoughts and feelings. I may not have time today, but I will look for it. I am glad to hear that you will be going on a 3 day retreat where you will be doing walking meditation. No matter how mindfully we hold on to creating loving memories, the presence of the knowledge of illness, approaching death, or death itself seem to intrude and be present, and to be able to move aside from these feelings and settle into mindfulness of NOW for a while is a wonderful gift of healing and solace. I hope next weekend is healing and comforting for you. namaste, fae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Today on our Mary's blog she posted some excellent links for meditation and I wanted to post it here rather than on the thread I usually post her blogs on. This was originally written for Marty's grief healing blog. The meditation links are excellent. I have used them over many times. http://personalgrowthandgriefsupportcenter.com/1/post/2014/07/meditation-a-helpful-tool-for-those-who-grieve.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralfae Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Anne, Thank you for bringing those wonderful links that Mary posted on her blog to my attention. Some I have used, but I see some new ones that I will try. We have a wonderfully caring tribe here. namaste, fae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wifflesnook Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yes, thank you Anne. My daughter and her two little ones have been here for several days so no way could I meditate. I intend to get back to normal today. We all seem to be so much on the same wave length here. How does this happen? Whatever. I'm grateful. I survived the wedding anniversary yesterday. It began with a card from our daughter and I've placed two cards from Pete to me and me to Pete on the mantelpiece. Just because he died it doesn't mean that I can't celebrate our love.
