The Best Meditations for Fear
Fear is a universal emotion that frequently rears its head in our lives. It's the instinctive response that sends our hearts racing, palms sweating, and minds racing. But fear isn't always an adversary; it's an evolutionary adaptation designed to protect us from potential threats.

“You live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality, but you do not know this. When you understand this, you will see that you are nothing. And being nothing, you are everything. That is all.”
— Kalu Rinpoche
To be nothing is to be one with everything. #yoga #spirituality #wisdom #meditation #mindfulness
We don't get upset if the wind blows this way or that way. We tend to enjoy the everchanging nature of shifting winds.
So why do we get upset when things beyond our control change course in life?

What is your favorite book on Western Buddhism, Meditation and Mindfulness? (Ideally one book on all 3)
#books #buddhism #meditation #mindfulness
Thanks!
Soon the NEW YEAR starts, so now's a great time to:
1. Wipe the slate clean.
2. Focus upon what you really want.
3. Chart your course.
Or is that a bit old school? Feels tiring? Ugh!
How about an adventurous alternative:
1. Give thanks that your life is exactly as it is.
2. Decide that 2024 will be the happiest year of your life yet.
3. Every day, follow your heart and instincts down new paths.

It might sound unbelievable, but life can actually be easy and fulfilling if you do what you truly want. You might be used to the idea that life is all about struggle, hard work, and figuring things out alone, which can make the concept of an easy, enjoyable life seem pretty far-fetched.

How do people feel about their perception of time? I'm interested if others feel like their days often run fast out of their control, or whether they feel they control the pace somewhat. Is it something you've thought about / tried to change?
I’m challenging consumerism this month.
IF you find yourself thinking, “Maybe loved one would like _this_ as a gift,” walk away. I say, don’t push yourself to make that purchase that it seems like you’re making out of obligation. You and the recipient will both be happier when you give what you feel not what you settled on.

Ruins remind us of impermanence - the futility of "holding on" to the material things of this world. Everything that rises will fall. Every diamond found will be lost. Nothing stays young and beautiful forever.
Whether this is upsetting or liberating depends on what we value.
Do we speed through time chasing things don't last, or expand time by being fully present in each moment of our lives?

PTSD Stress & Anxiety Meditation
This simple relaxation activity can do more than just helping us deeply relax. Through repetition, it creates a natural mental association between being aware of our breathing (or counting down) and becoming deeply relaxed.

Especially in later #dementia stages, living in the moment often is the most loving way to give care and support.
Impermanence shows us that there will be good times, and bad times.
In bad times we can remind ourselves that there are good times ahead.
Good times let us recuperate and be prepared for inevitable bad times.

The feeling of overwhelm is something that seems to send all my body's energy right up into my head and makes it pulsate there. Makes life feel fast and unkeepupable. Nature photography, going out, being creative helps to send that energy down into my limbs again, helps with feeling more and thinking less, to commune with nature and to be in the world rather than inside constructs of the imaginary. See beauty again and create these images as little gifts.
Life offers infinite opportunities to serve our higher purpose. Our values provide guides for actions to follow.
Consider: How do my day to day actions honor my core values?

The quality of our character is influenced by the quality of our thoughts. Over time, asana, pranayama, and meditation, along with other activities, help us experience a place beyond thought. This place is where we reconnect to our true nature and our divine soul. #yoga #meditation #mindfulness #spirituality

You will recognize the left tree from the previous post. This is similar and yet so different.
Especially with the clear gap between the trees. The more I look at it, the more of a story starts to spin up in my mind.
And the monochrome look -- it just adds this extra touch. Well - as you see - I really love it :-)

This one is from last year. I just went out for a walk in quite some snow. My camera backpack on my back, the tripod on my shoulders ... and having an hour walk around the neighbourhood.

Expand your visual focus to include peripheral vision on both left and right sides and maintain your awareness over the full 180 degrees for 10 seconds. Stop and notice how calm your mind is.
This works by saturating our awareness and eliminating distraction, including thinking.

I'd wanted to make my own scented candles for YEARS. It was a writing ritual for me to light one while I write. But it feels quite wasteful to have all these beautiful jars, sometimes with quite a lot of leftover wax too and then keep buying new ones. Anyway, I kept some of the jars and wax, bought some additional wax, wicks and essential oils and here's my first chamomile candle. I enjoy it very much.
Given the rapid influx of new folk here, thought I'd reintroduce myself - #introduction time! If we share stuff, say "hello". Even if we don't, but you think we might have interesting chats, say "hi!". I've never been awesome at just listing interests. I'm into so many things, and I recognise that people are so complex anyway, that a list seems odd and restrictive. But with intent of connecting, here goes - Former #englishliterature nerd with interests in #science, #astronomy, #history, #psychology, #philosophy, #politics and on and on. Currently, I'm #writing and #drawing (mostly scribbling honestly) monsters in black ink for short #fantasy #horror adventures I make for #osr and #ttrpgs like #dungeonsanddragons #DnD. I also enjoy #boardgames and game mechanics generally. Sometimes I write #poetry and #fiction and even #makingmusic like #ambientmusic. Sometimes I #paint #abstractart. Often, I practice #photography. Studying #counselling has also led to
interests in #meditation, #compassion and #mindfulness. I'll Toot about lots of stuff, but that's reflective of my interest in so many areas. #joinin #introductions
There's something else really interesting happening on this post, and that's the phenomena of "If you don't feel the same way I feel, you're attacking me".
I'd really urge anyone who was severely upset by this post to read my first reply, re-read the original post, and then to take a step back and evaluate your feelings before replying.
I'm always open to disagreements, and learning that I don't know as much about something as I thought. I love respectful discussions where I can learn something. I know that I don't know what I don't know, and that plenty of you can fill knowledge gaps, and that's such a beautiful thing.
However, this is a post about one single person's experience (mine). What about it makes you feel that I'm judging you? Why would you care about my judgement in the first place? Why does it bother you that I don't want to use this other platform, and why does it make you feel that *you* need to defend your use of it?
My initial reply to this post was extremely clear that I'm not placing a value judgement on anyone, and yet there are several replies calling me out for being narrow-minded, for trying to ruin things for other people, and for playing into something specific to Mastodon that is apparently a dislike or constant discourse about how bad other social media platforms are. Some are just telling me I'm wrong (about my own experience!).
I ask you: so what?
Why would it bother you if any of that was the case?
Then also, did you read the post? Did you read the whole thing? Did you realize that the entire post was a humbling post, saying "oh shit, I've been on my high horse, but I have a lot of empathy now because I became obsessed with this well-built app in 24 hours, how silly, let me not use this!"?
I recognize that many of us are trying to manage emotions in our physical lives and our virtual lives, and that our virtual lives become outlets without consequence for the frustrations that are generated both by physical "real-world" things, and by the things we encounter online. But if you're willing, maybe take a step back and use this as an opportunity to reflect on your anger. If I am truthfully the sole reason for your anger after you really sit with yourself and attempt to be honest with yourself, then perhaps there are other things you need to be focused on, because you don't know me and my opinion of a web site (a web site! not of you as a human being! a web site! you didn't build it!) shouldn't shatter your world or create a heightened emotional response.
I truly never meant for this to get so popular, and I really kind of wish I hadn't. It's been an emotional few weeks, and the least you could do is to take a deep breath and be kind in your reply. Disagree! Call me out! Whatever, just be nice about it. Because I have to read you to know to block you, and I really don't think that I'm the source of the problems in your life. If I am, then I envy you for this being the biggest problem in your life today. Share some gratitude for that, if that's your reality.
Another one from the woods. I was a bit fascinated by this plant because no matter how I moved in and out, where I lay the focus, it always looked like it was casting a shadow into the air, as if its own shadow was still lingering in the dried body.

☕️ 🍂 Morning at my coffee house. The drawer of the desk next to me was ajar. Glad I opened it.
Please enjoy this excerpt from my mindfulness journal, dated 10 October, 2023.
Anger is very common and something we all deal with. It is useful to identify specific triggers and learn better ways to manage our responses. For instance, taking a pause and using breathwork can help in the moment, while working with a therapist to explore and heal from deeper issues may provide a longer-term solution. #psychology #therapy #selfhelp #science #mindfulness #MentalHelp https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/09/29/anger-management-techniques/
