Meditation is a tough word. It’s had bad marketing. People think of it as something hard, something unattainable. People judge themselves on their ability to do it or not do it. Often even meditators judge themselves because they don’t meditate regularly, often enough or long enough. That’s a shame. Continue reading “Why do I teach meditation?”
Wisdom gleaned from busted stuff
I think that life (the universe, god, goddess… plug your term in here)

Now I’m the teacher
I was a really shy kid. I was the one who walked into the room looking at her shoes because looking up was too scary. That was a long time ago.
Somewhere along the way, I did get brave enough to look up into the eyes and hearts of others. Eventually, I even learned to speak up. In time, I found that I love to teach.

Photo and quote by me
Step back from “what if” fear
Fear can be real
if you’re facing a hungry tiger,
if you’re getting washed away in a flood,
if your child is ill.
But daily fear isn’t real.
It’s a tool that can control, and
keep us from being all we can be.
Step back from “what if” fear and
find your strength and your dreams again.
Be the tiger or the power of the flood.
Be the healer of all sick children.
That power will bring a new and better world.
No one person has all the power.
Breathe deeply and reclaim yours.

Welcome gentle winter
The snow has fallen
like a blanket covering the season past,
creating a clean canvas
for what lies ahead.
Time to ponder what has become.
Space to meditate on deeper truths.
Need to still our busy minds
and wrap ourselves in a blanket of what can be.

Loving kindness a day later
Yesterday, at our group meditation gathering, I led a loving-kindness meditation. The goal of the meditation is to help each heart get habitually more open to others; those we love, those we don’t know so well and even to those who we may not like. Continue reading “Loving kindness a day later”
