Hi, Thank you. Alan Watts has impressed me too. I like what he says about how we must leave the nature of our planet alone in order to regain it's natural balance. This approach as well has been useful to think about for sentient beings balance with nature as well. Be Well, Jim

[kathmandau]

@DRJIMTVTV excellent thoughts, my friend.

Watts called himself a spiritual entertainer--never taking himself too seriously. I like it.

I think I would tell someone to breath and take a deep breath. Like in the song by Enigma. That is always the first thing I tell anyone who is in the middle of a traumatic situation. Breath Breath Breath and let it out. Let the cry out I am here with you. I will not leave you alone. Let me share your pain with you. That is what I would say.

[kathmandau]

@Mineretta2012 namaste, Donna.

[battlebauble]

Alan Watts was such genius. Alan remarked how Americans live such overstimulated lives and how difficult it is for them to truly "relax". I know in my own life it takes considerable effort to escape the tyranny of the urgent and just calmly relax.

[kathmandau]

@battlebauble I agree about Watts, Darl--and one of his most ingenious concepts was calling himself a 'spiritual entertainer'.  I have the good fortune (after many years of practice) to quickly fall into a deep and extended mediation, when (and here's the catch) I manage to force myself to take the time to allow it. May you have a very relaxing weekend, my friend.

[mintgumdropz1]

@kathmandau i am told that when I try to meditate, I become sleepy, is because my soul is being protected. Every time I try to meditate, ( I must be doing something wrong) I wake up not refreshed, but very sleepy. So the rest of my day, is spent fighting sleep. I don't attempt to meditate anymore out of fear. But when I did do so, twice, i loved the feeling of utter peace and just quietly being. It was like being underwater: i was in a silent, protected world all of my own. Love this :)

[kathmandau]

@mintgumdropz1 Tina, for me, I must be well slept before meditating--or it makes me even more sleepy and I do not feel good at all. The Dali Lama says that the best meditation is good sleep.

There are infinite forms of centering--the purpose of meditation. My "Find Your Center, Find Your Peace" video might help. Mostly one must follow their own intuition as to the proper way of connecting to one's deeper self. I do not believe in the 'being protected' notion.

[kathmandau]

@mintgumdropz1 At most, I can only imagine that the timing or style of the attempted centering was not suitable for you at that moment.

blessings.....and follow you heart...

love,

CG

[mintgumdropz1]

@kathmandau thank you ! ok, now I have more answers, and will check out the recommended video, for when i do my attempt at meditation again. ( You are a wonderful and gifted teacher, CG, and i am glad to know u :) ) namaste, my friend,and have a beautiful week ahead :)

[kathmandau]

@mintgumdropz1 Bless you, Tina.

I am just another traveler, glad to share.

[mamamialove]

relax...we just don't know what it means...i believe...that first we should be still...stop moving...and definitely breathing in connection with our desire...of our deepest need to stop worrying...and next i want to relax while moving..ahhhh that is a goal...I relaxed yesterday... really relaxed didn't want to create anything but just let my body be still...and listened to it...the body knows...but first we must get into our body..i learned that for years of being a masage therapist.

peace

@mamamialove Peace, Mamamia. I agree.

Today a modern apostle of goodness can be found on the Internet.

The richness of the Internet is the message and the idea of virtual togetherness.

The downside is the thought being together leading us to isolation.

But right know and till than , without internet, we would never be friends ...

[kathmandau]

@Ziggurathsss ....and I am thankful for our friendship--and your kindness--Guido.

Variation on Mr. Shakespeare--things are neither good nor bad, but how we use them makes them so...

[bikemessenger7]

I loved this message my friend. I have been thinking on this topic very much this week. I know that what is spoken here is the truth and the way I want to live. there are moments when I am not so sure. those moments are always from dealing with people who feel the opposite about the way of life. when they fight and struggle and win I wonder about their choices, they seem so wrong yet they also seem to succeed. I do think that calmness and bending is the right way for me though. thanks very much

[kathmandau]

@bikemessenger7 I guess it is a matter of what definition of success on is seeking, Earl.....for me (body, mind, and spirit), I must have a fair amount of time to connect with the quieter things. For me, there is no success otherwise--though I do enjoy the bright lights and buzz now and again...

It reminds me of this Dalai Lama quote-- "People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they have gotten lost"

that is a great piece my friend....so by doing nothing we r doing something....so we must follow ur hearts...or what ever we r lead by :) to fulfil our fate :) cuz if we r dodgin others fates then we r not playing our role in things to come....so we must watch in being tricked to do nothing...that isn't our path...cuz that would change everyones future....and change the nothing we should be doing :) i love these riddles CG....very cool mate :) Peace and keep doin ur nothings...cuz they're great.

Thank you for that, a good morning reminder to relax, now I must go greet the sun soon.
