P.O.W.~breathing in the wonders of life
this video is featured in my
big beyond… e•mag today,
i watched it,
i enjoyed it and
i wanted to also share it here~snb
.
Touching the Wonders of Life:
Thich Nhat Hanh “Thây” shares about the practice
of mindful breathing.
With each breath,
we can fully be in touch with life.
The first exercise is being Aware of your
in and out breath.
The second exercise is
Mindfulness – coming into the present moment.
This brings concentration.
We continue learning about dualism.
Birth and death.

uni-tasking via the slow internet movement (thoughts on tiny buddha article)
i think i really like this “movement” i read about in today’s tiny buddha article… especially the part about stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
i’ve been slowing down for the past few years {especially after my foot/leg injury 2004/2005}
~ plus balancing work/career with art/play ~ and it’s helped improve my life immensely.
amazingly, the overall effect makes me feel like i am accomplishing more {mind~body~soul}
by living more balanced and not pushing so hard ~sb

p.o.w.~desensitizing & minimizing fears
i think i used a form of this cognitive therapy ~ Exposure & Response Prevention ~
{its inception probably introduced by my marriage/divorce counselor}
with my fears {financial, relationship, creative, social} to start desensitizing myself in 2007.
and to this day, i look these phantoms in the face,
i don’t avoid them or
run from them or
become anxious by them.
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.~Virginia Woolf

poetic~releasing
“You only lose what you cling to.” ~Buddha
when we clung to love it was kept just beyond our reach
then we released ourselves from loving others desperately
and we released our attachment to being loved by them
…
when we began to truly love ourselves
we discovered we could love others unconditionally and
from a place of overflow
…
and because we love ourselves,
we allow ourselves to love others freely
we do not love others from a place of scarcity {please READ MORE}

P.O.W.~true love is independent
yes ~ POW! what a great quote from Mister Rogers. i came across this today while researching an article. this plain advice and honest opinion resonated with me. when i read it, i thought how simple this truth really is. and i realized for some people the concept might not be so easy, it might be outright conflicting or incredibly foreign. because for some people who live & love in fear to have independence & love together might represent opposing and counteractive forces
and an impossibility for now or for ever. yet for me today, this concept of true love seems so easy, so essential, so intuitive, and so eternal ~ sb … {READ MORE} …

30 November: course correction
“… The path of my life now is one that I had dreamt about, but hadn’t the courage to embark upon before. Interesting & good how the “be careful what you (dream) wish for” comes about. I hoped for a change in my tumultuous & topsy-turvy personal life in 2004 – even tho my showbiz career was booming – and the universe obliged me. The disabling and painful foot/leg injury allowed me to slow down, evaluate, contemplate, reinvigorate and redirect myself personally and professionally. Now I am calmer – braver – happier to do what I want personally, professionally, spiritually” … SEE/READ MORE…

BONUS P.O.V. on W.O.W.~5 stages of {letting go and} forgiving
a BONUS P.O.V. from a friend, eva la rue, that also affected me: “it’s not so much about somebody forgiving you or you going and saying ‘oh, i forgive them’ and ‘i forgive what they did to me,’ it’s about going in and actually saying to the other person, ‘how have i hurt you?’ even if you feel like you’re the one who’s been hurt, it’s letting go of your hurt for the moment and saying (or maybe letting go forever and saying): ‘how have i harmed you?’ because that makes the person, i’ve noticed, completely fall away. all the pretense all the anger all the resentment, it falls away. because we all really want somebody to say: ‘how have i hurt you?’ ‘what was it i did?” and ‘i’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.’” ~ SEE/HEAR/READ MORE ~

W.O.W.~5 stages of {letting go and} forgiving
I saw a video on youtube titled “Forgiveness and the Freedom of Letting Go” tonight and it reminded me of my journey to forgiveness. i began to sow those seeds in 2004 and it took me five years to really get it, to literally know it and to honestly feel it. now pretty much any time something adverse happens to me, i am able to forgive faster, move through the pain or disappointment exponentially quicker, and return to living in the calm and peaceful state of a quantum nowness i have created for myself.~sb
