Practice Moment To Moment Non-judgemental Awareness.

Most People Think That To Meditate, I Should Feel A Particular Special Something, And If I Don't, Then I Must Be Doing Something Wrong.

One Way To Look At Meditation Is As A Kind Of Intrapsychic Technology That's Been Developed Over Thousands Of Years By Traditions That Know A Lot About The Mind/body Connection.

Generosity Is Another Quality Which, Like Patience, Letting Go, Non-judging, And Trust, Provides A Solid Foundation For Mindfulness Practice. You Might Experiment With Using The Cultivation Of Generosity As A Vehicle For Deep Self-observation And Inquiry As Well As An Exercise In Giving. A Good Place To Start Is With Yourself. See If You Can Give Yourself Gifts That May Be True Blessings, Such As Self-acceptance, Or Some Time Each Day With No Purpose. Practice Feeling Deserving Enough To Accept These Gifts Without Obligation-to Simply Receive From Yourself, And From The Universe.

Life On Earth Is A Whole, Yet It Expresses Itself In Unique Time-bound Bodies, Microscopic Or Visible, Plant Or Animal, Extinct Or Living. So There Can Be No One Place To Be. There Can Be No One Way To Be, No One Way To Practice, No One Way To Learn, No One Way To Love, No One Way To Grow Or To Heal, No One Way To Live, No One Way To Feel, No One Thing To Know Or Be Known. The Particulars Count.

Most Of The Time, If You're Not Really Paying Attention, You're Someplace Else. So Your Child Might Say, "daddy, I Want This," And You Might Say, "just A Minute, I'm Busy." Now That's No Big Deal-we All Get Busy, And Kids Frequently Ask For Attention. But Over Your Child's Entire Youth, You May Have An Enormous Number Of Such Moments To Be Really, Fully Present, But Because You Thought You Were Busy, You Didn't See The Opportunities These Moments Presented. . . . People Carry Around An Enormous Amount Of Grief Because They Missed The Little Things.
