Mindfullness Sunset or Sunrise?

Shape Clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.

- Lao-Tzu

    The Tao of Spirit

by John-Roger

It is within the no-thing that the Spirit lives.
The Spirit will not come into a space that is already filled.
It you are filled with anxiety, fear, depression and disturbance,
There is no space for the Spirit.
And since the Spirit cannot violate your consciousness,
It must stay outside.

When you give up the negative emotions and expressions,
the space that is left can be filled by the Spirit.
But you must create the space.

You have to risk letting go of the things that do not work for you
in order to gain the things that will.

Last night when doing my reading before bed, I could not help but know that I must write about this today. For me, it could not be said better. It describes the process of moving from mindfullness to mindfreeness, “letting go of the things that do not work for you in order to gain the things that will.”

The exercise of using your five senses to increase awareness and objectivity is an easy meditation method. Try watching my Mindfullness Sensory Tour video series to really see how easy it can be. Read the first three chapters of my e-book, “10 Steps to Joy: A Journey from Mindfullness to Mindfeeness.”

Together, videos and e-book, present practical mindfulness exercises anyone can practice. Mindfulness practice should be a daily habit. It can be accomplished outside on a walk or indoors having a cup of tea. The importance is simply that you do it every day because it is a cumulative result.

Over time, you increase your ability to view the day’s events objectively. You listen more carefully to your inner guidance and become more certain of its voice. You enter a sense of knowing more keenly. You feel the resonance that surrounds you and can quickly determine whether it is comfortable or disconcerting. You quickly recognize synchronicity and begin seeing the manifestation of your intent.

It is a process and one that requires daily attention. The best part is that it is enjoyable once you get beyond the resistance and the negative self-talk.

You have to risk letting go of the things that do not work for you
in order to gain the things that will.

Mindfullness or Mindfreeness?

Jan 13th, 2010 Posted in Mind/Body Health | no comment »

Reflecting the beauty we experience through mindfullness.

Reflecting the beauty we experience through mindfullness.

Do you sometimes find yourself confused, anxious, overwhelmed or even fearful? Are there days when your mind feels blocked or “fuzzy?” Do you desire more meaning in your life or a life that brings you what you desire? Mindfulness exercises can release these bindings and free you to express you full potential.

I teach a process called Mindfullness. It is an oxymoron, and I use two “Ls” purposefully. To be “mind-full” is to be fully aware of your surroundings. From Mindfulness practice helps us evolve into the moment rather than regretting the past or fearing the future. It leads to full consciousness, even prescience.

Although mind-fullness would suggest a “full” mind, possibly full of thoughts, the opposite is, in fact, true. Many of you may understand that opposites are actually one, and the same, although from different perspectives. This, however, is not a subject for this lesson.

As I teach mindfullness, it is the use of your senses as a focal point for your mind. We focus on feeling, vision, sound, taste and smell to calm the mind. We dive into existence by attuning our awareness to a sensory experience. Gradually, it transforms into that which is beyond existence: “being” or experiencing what is, rather than relying on our mind’s illusions.

From the state of being, we absorb the beauty that surrounds us and find awe. From the state of awe, we open and remove the blocks of preconception and confusion.

As we open, new knowledge takes hold. We find ourselves in a new dimension of living, a dimension that is free of limiting thoughts, free of fear, and free to remember and fully express who we truly are. Our mind becomes free, and we experience mindfreeness.

Experience the first three steps to this mindfulness practice. It’s completely free. If you choose to continue with the full experience, 10 steps, you will enjoy a limited membership in our Tea Flower Moment Club. You will receive 3 tea balls and the remaining 7 steps.
