[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619913, member: 17542"] You've inspired me to look into this more today after I started doing that yesterday. here are some good quotes: “Nothing is wrong—whatever is happening is just “real life.” --- Tara Brach. Wow, I really like this one. Just unpack it for a minute. It puts things into very quick perspective. Another, which is more practical, and something I have been working on already for some time: “Learning to pause is the first step in the practice of Radical Acceptance. A pause is a suspension of activity, a time of temporary disengagement when we are no longer moving toward any goal. . . . The pause can occur in the midst of almost any activity and can last for an instant, for hours or for seasons of our life. . . . We may pause in the midst of meditation to let go of thoughts and reawaken our attention to the breath. We may pause by stepping out of daily life to go on a retreat or to spend time in nature or to take a sabbatical. . . . You might try it now: Stop reading and sit there, doing "no thing," and simply notice what you are experiencing.” [I]― Tara Brach[/I] “What would it be like if I could accept life--accept this moment--exactly as it is?” -- Brach One of the key threads running through her work is mindfulness. This is something I don't think most people practice. It is another term for being fully present in this moment. Not living in the past or the future, but in the NOW. And most of the time, RIGHT NOW is just fine. In fact, it may be really good. Right now, I am sitting on the sofa, working and posting and watching the sun stream in through the windows. I feel good. If we can be mindful, stringing together many of these Right Now moments, we might just have a pretty good life. Regardless. Love this stuff. It really does help. [/QUOTE]
