What are you doing this weekend to support your health and wellbeing?
It’s suddenly got sunny out there and I decided to try and rescue my eleagnus from a marauding bramble for the umpteenth time this year and my poor philadelphus from my neighbours’ beautiful, but rather overzealous, wisteria. I only filled half a bin before I gave up, due to the fact that I’ve retired from ladders unless there is someone there to catch me. Which is all rather a preamble to admitting that getting jobs done can be very rewarding, if you pick the right time to do them.
I also painted a step and did some touch-ups to a door, plus I began the job of preparing the wallpaper under my bedroom window for Autumn again- every year it gets wet from seeping rain and the wallpaper needs stain stop or glue and paint, or all of the above! So glad to have the oomph to get all these essential things done. Thanks, Une! 🙏🏻 And the photo is of the current state of my long border after it has rained a bit! There is life again!! Thanks again, Une! 💫

Todays quote from Frans Stiene:

"Gratitude spreads happiness. So open your eyes and look around the richness of creation around you. You are here now today. You are amidst this wondrous display. In silence and grace spend a moment to feel the interconnectedness between yourself and the entire universe. And whenever you experience this grace flow within you, you will find gratitude."
~ Khandro Rinpoche

Todays quote from Frans Stiene:

"Bringing an attitude of enjoyment to our meditation ...
Not long ago, a great Buddhist spiritual teacher gave a talk to a Western audience, advising them to meditate a little bit every day. ‘‘It may not make a difference in the short run,’’ he said, ‘‘but in weeks, months, years, or maybe decades, then you will feel something different.’’ People started laughing; they had wanted to hear him say that all the benefits would be achieved immediately. But it can take time, and that discourages a lot of us. If we resolve to practice this week for ten hours and we’re not totally changed people as a result, we’re ready to give up. We think it’s not working.
For years, much of our energy has gone into worrying about problems and about what we want. This is like negative meditation. So we’ve been training ourselves in the wrong direction. Reversing this takes more than a few hours or days.
We need to be patient and consistent. We eat food every day. We don’t question doing that. But when it comes to meditation, we somehow think, ‘‘I did it once; I don’t want to do it again.’’
The key is to make meditation a part of our lives, like weaving a thread into the fabric of a tapestry. Bringing an attitude of enjoyment to our meditation helps tremendously. It also helps for us to bring the peaceful feelings of meditation into our daily activities. That is how we can begin tasting the fruits of our efforts.
When the healing of mind becomes a habit, our minds become like a great river. Although the river may not always appear to be moving, if we look closely enough, we will see how the water is slowly, slowly making its way to the sea."

Just a reminder that, every Monday from midnight, Taggart King from Reiki Evolution shares a Reiju Empowerment that we can all tune into if we have Reiki. Just find a calm place and time, settle comfortably and invite the energy by saying “I’m ready to receive my Reiju Empowerment from Taggart now.” Enjoy. 💫

A hard truth about growing up:

You will eventually disappoint people to stop disappointing yourself.

You can't keep saying yes when you mean no. You can't sacrifice your peace for everyone's approval.

Some people will dislike your boundaries because they benefited from you having none.

You can disappoint people and still be a good person. Choose yourself.

Todays quote from Frans Stiene:

"Do not try to stop your thinking. Let it stop by itself. If something comes into your mind, let it come in, and let it go out. It will not stay long. When you try to stop your thinking, it means you are bothered by it. Do not be bothered by anything.
It appears as if something comes from outside your mind, but actually it is only the waves of your mind, and if you are not bothered by the waves, gradually they will become calmer and calmer." - Shunryu Suzuki

Todays quote from Frans Stiene:

"Trying to achieve something in the spiritual world is just as foolish as trying to achieve something in the material world. There’s nothing to achieve.
There’s only letting go. As we let go, more and more, of ego identifications, desires, and support systems, bliss will arise."
~ Ayya Khema
