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.

I am here, where are you (?)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Certainly one can easily say, I'm always changing and this is true;
one could say, I'm not sure as the future is un-known and with each moment we pass into the new;
Or, one could just linger in a moment long enough to capture its essence....
and, then, the question dissipates, the boundaries disappear
Our Goal, finding awe, while feeling one's Self aglow
Our mission, helping others and self to grow

I've seen all good people. Remember how important humming is? When we're humming, we are vibrating our whole body with our sound. Taking nothing for granted, remembering how precious you are. One is. We are. And everything else. To be alive is much more than just one's ego. It is a combination of an immense, if not infinite, number of events occurring. From moments that have been accomplished in the past to a future which is unknown. Evolution is what we're talking about. The "whole kit and caboodle," being here now, comfortably postured. In your chosen way. And if it's not, then finding something you feel relaxed, calm. Finding one's breathing in such a way that one is filled with a curiosity of what this means to be able to breathe on a planet with a livable atmosphere. Thinking about all the events we are aware of that have contributed to this possibility, potential, we find ourselves in. Our whole world finds ourselves in, not taking for granted, being aware, a witness to everything, being receptive, open-minded, open heart, open being. For what we know is only a spark of what is. One thousandth of one percent of the electromagnetic spectrum. Does mankind have a capacity to be receptive to... The rest, the ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent, is beyond our recognition. Being here, humbled in our recognition of what is, thankful in our recognition further of what is, which we are a part of, our good fortune. Even more with relish or with icing, we have an awareness of just this contemplation we're sharing. Many forms of life upon our planet do not seem to have the same potential or possibilities, mankind is fortunate to share. Our family, our cousins, everywhere, remembering whom we are. Bundles of miracles, humble by the immensity of creation, thankful for this opportunity to be a part, as Shakespeare said, life's stage. What is your part? What is the landscape or scenery? What are you helping to create? Being open-minded and receptive to see more clearly as a witness to help one have this 'aha' moment in such a way as one can begin to make small steps to positive changes. Building, as if climbing one rung on an ascending ladder, to one's better self. I have two quotes today. They came in from the School of Practical Philosophy.org. Highly recommended. Your vision will become clear only when you look into your own heart. Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens. This was said by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, 1875 to 1961. You probably heard his name. I have. Do not seek to be anything else than what you are, And in doing so, you will come nearer to the one. Plotinius, Roman philosopher. Around two hundred and fifty BC or BCE, Plotinus, P L O T I N U S. Do not seek to be anything else than what you are, and in doing so, you will come nearer to the one (which we all are.) Anyway, I like them a lot. I like to put them on my wall when they catch my imagination and my attention. Because again, we are oscillating like all the other energy forms in our universe. And as much as in one moment of time we are ecstatic, aware, shimmering, vibrating, quivering with the energy of life's engine. Like the rumbling of a car. When you get in a car and you turn it on, it rumbles, right? It begins to have a sense of motion. It is the same for us, but our cars aren't turned on and off, just once, it's always ready and alive for us to remember. Being here now, bundles of miracles. Always looking for the flowing momentum of one's breath, one's pulse, heat, emanating, vibration, shimmering, ecstatic celebration, feeling, remembering, knowing, habitualizing oneself, practicing. It is only as far away as we place ourselves be present, feeling one's hands, allowing one's fingers, palms, and thumbs to press gently together before you, maybe even between your legs, feeling your inner thighs and your outer forearms as they press out and allowing one's hands to press in gently everywhere. Awareness is what we're doing. Tools are what we're using to corroborate, to collect, to concentrate, focus our attention wherever we want, in whatever depth. Wide is our capacity, and wider still is the breadth and the depth of creation. So we do our best, we make our ways, we ascend our ladders, we take our small steps, we make mistakes, we look at things consciously and as a witness, we move ahead with time and practice, surely, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, you will find yourself improving. Thinking about these things, please. The dawning of the Aquarian age is our responsibility to transform... the way we think, to grow up, to become adults. Spread the word. We need all the help we can get. The music continues for another moment. Linger, namaste
