Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness
Aka, "Our Practice: Sharing" is a Returning to our Senses, Why? Who we are, forgotten, taken for granted, most likely, this describes all of us, then Remembering is important, which will lead us to realize how very much more similar we are than we usually think... Got around fifteen minutes, Let me help plant some seeds in your Soul. Mindfulness results from widening one's perspective in meaningful ways. It is more than just using meditation as a tool, it is how you use it that opens the doors. Usually, fellow practitioners don't talk about this or they cover it scantily as it takes a deep dive of investigating our Selves and gets personal real quick. Depth is how we learn to distinguish our foundation, sure we might stumble or step on some toes, yet, honesty & authenticity is what acts as our springboard to Success. Open mindedness is an important key.
My goal is yours, to improve in a soulful, harmonious manner. Simple experiences can lead to natural, easy ways to greater self awareness and clarity. There is no mystical or religious tone here, just accumulated scientific wisdom. Don't think that your possibilities are limited from the outside, it is more "our selves thinking" that limit whom we are. Change, as in "all of the Universe" constantly shifting, is actually part of our gift as it is always nudging us, jostling us to respond or react, bingo, that is whom we are, whom we are.... now. If you are as tired of failure as I have been, if you want to change your Life in positive ways without mumbo jumbo, if you are disappointed when help starts asking for money, and if you are ready to commit (not to me), but to your Self, to your Practice, then welcome aboard. If not, we are always here.
The cost is still considerable, not in currency, it is in your commitment of time, I don't take it lightly, 15 minutes of formal mediation is a lot, begun best at the beginning of one's day (better to benefit you), we accept all forms of excuses when you can't, but understand, it is "practice" that actually helps one improve. Even if you can make 5 minutes that will do to start. What this means is "you" are beginning to develop "whom you want to be" in your practice sessions. If you are not there or not being attentive, or not committing, then how can you expect to proceed and succeed? Many live and die, never to know what it means to be fully alive, never appreciating the simple gift of life we have been given.

Here, there, and everywhere
It is important to address our humanity, our foibles, our possibilities. our ways of thinking and responding or reacting to not only our own minds, but those around us. Some ideas here. It is a learning experience this Life and we need to keep noticing and learning from what we see and hear and feel. It is the nourishing of seeds of wisdom which can be sprouted everyday, all day long. But, we need to recognize what is constantly in front of us, to pick the seeds from the chaff, it is why there is a word called discrimination, to have this ability to choose a better path, the appropriate choice, for us to focus on. to seed and nourish...
Little steps of self encouragement are important. Shakespeare said we are all actors in our lives and accepting this thought, we need further to hone our skills. the reason I mention this is that "to get the most out of one's practice" means evoking or creating within one Self a sense of depth, of greater perspective, of resonance, I like the word "awe" in and during our mindfulness. This is the harbinger of one's Self or failure when not found or created as we must come to do to more fully feel our Selves. What is it that will evoke in You such a deep and sacred feeling. Usually thoughts of sadness, yet you can turn them around to be useful. This is my suggestion for us.
Listen to these words because there are millions and millions of souls that go through their lives without the depth of understanding of whom they are. Never to have dug deep enough to prepare their own Garden in their own Soul. Allow your heart and your Soul to resonate with self wisdom, understanding, and compassion. It is the only way as you use this "amplified energy" to create the light bright enough for you to find your own Unique Way, on your journey, accepting your responsibility.
Easy? You're alive, you think, so yes, easy enough. To have someone help and discuss with you the tools of the trade of self realization is a gift indeed, happy holidays. Remember, every day is a holiday somewhere
Our Goal, finding awe, while feeling one's Self aglow.
