Monday Musings: Never Lose Yourself!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Among all the reasons for practicing a form of meditation, we have found that the best reason is to stay in touch with ourselves.  In other words one returns to home base--our core and our essence.  And from home base you can easily and more comfortably tackle whatever the day brings.

 

"This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself.
When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself.
The practice is always to go back to oneself."

~Thich Nhat Hanh

 

"The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh 

 

"When you climb a ladder and arrive on the sixth step and you think that is the highest, then you cannot come to the seventh. So the technique is to abandon the sixth in order for the seventh step to be possible. And this is our practice, to release our views. 

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

"Take my hand. We will walk. We will only walk. We will enjoy our walk without thinking of arriving anywhere."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

 

Happy Labor Day!

Ron and Alexandra, for people who need meditation lessons, a friend turned my onto "Calm", an iPhone app that fun.  It offers guided meditation sessions and has "grown up bedime stories" if you can't get to sleep.  

And your rose is lovely!  I can smell it all the way in Washington.

That gorgeous rose blossom reminds me of one in my garden.  It is labeled, "Intrigue."

Ron and Alexandra:

Thank you for a poignant reminder about not losing ourselves, and for the wonderful quotes from Hahn. You have often shared his wisdom and it always resonates. Thank you again...it’s particularly important at this time for me personally!

Morning Alexandra.

I do like to walk, trouble is I can't go as far as I once did.  That doesn't keep me from trying

Patricia Kennedy I did not know about "Calm" and thank you for this.  I find that even 3 minutes works interspersed thoughout the day in addition to more time in the morning.  I like being centered.  A

Endre Barath, Jr. I have a myriad of definitions for meditation, like your walks with Chloe, or when you are lost in a great book.  I even find chopping parsley a great form of meditation...Being busy has nothing to do with this.  A good grouding in a quiet mind makes busy go faster and take up less time...Just an idea!  A
