Gratefulness
For me it would be to have the most Kindly expression of love and compassion for myself and then radiate that into the world. I would want to look into the eyes of my beloved Deb, 4 legged companion, Baubo, and my dear therapist Genjo, who helped me get my life back
Celebrate ones fallibility! Also, there is no such thing as imperfect/perfect. That is dualistic thinking and an “inner game” of judgement. There is only being in this present moment. nothing else exists
The memories of the last 18 years with my beloved Debra…. I know, I could die in the next breath knowing that I have been truly loved and seen by another human being.
As I start my day in my acupuncture clinic, seeing patients, I always endeavor to see each person with “fresh eyes”… so as to be free of any preconceived ideas of their current condition. Fresh eyes = Mindfulness
I practice a tradition that has been in the world for almost 5,000 years. It has been written about and canonized for the last 3,000. Im speaking of Oriental Medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion…. Those who have come before me, are men and women of legend… some lost to antiquity… others remembered, written and spoken about. This unbroken stream of wisdom and practice, first handed down from Master to apprentice has been added to and expanded on for centuries…. While ther...
I practice a tradition that has been in the world for almost 5,000 years. It has been written about and canonized for the last 3,000. Im speaking of Oriental Medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion…. Those who have come before me, are men and women of legend… some lost to antiquity… others remembered, written and spoken about. This unbroken stream of wisdom and practice, first handed down from Master to apprentice has been added to and expanded on for centuries…. While there are no words to express my gratitude to all of those who come before me (my teachers etc.), it is my heartfelt desire to polish the heart-mind (Kokoro) until there is nothing left… no reflection, no ripple across the water…. just a shining needle, and smoke from moxa!
As I “do” me more… acting from awareness and mindfulness, and an unconditional positive regard for self, gratitude grows. it starts as a seed, and is watered by the kindness and compassion I extend to myself, first…. and the roots of that grow and spread to all of the world around me.
The coming fall, here in Seattle. Food, Family and Shelter, and the pleasure of interacting with humanoids today!!
all sentient beings
– do not treat myself with disrespect and contempt. -do not dwell in the past and be taken down stream by old stories that have been told too many times. -do not forget the beauty of the moment and ALL of the goodness this world has to offer. -do not miss an opportunity to say “I love you, thank you, I forgive you”
To treat myself with kindness, compassion and mindfulness… Then manifest this in all the people I meet and work with today. Keeping the wish for equanimity for all people of the world aflame in my heart.
I have always had a deep and abiding love for the human being. I practice my craft to ease suffering. It is a good thing, to take time regularly to ponder this question, I think. Now, if I could must a little more kindness and compassion for myself….
One of THE most potent questions….. As I approach 64 y/o, I have been doing an inventory of all that is essential and non-essential in my life and being…. I often ask, if I were to die in the next moment, would that be ok? I am having thoughts of disappointment and sadness, that I have somehow abandoned my quest for inner wisdom. Perhaps it has taken on a different meaning or has manifested in more subtle ways. however, when I pose this question , I am generally not happy with t...

Perhaps it has taken on a different meaning or has manifested in more subtle ways. however, when I pose this question , I am generally not happy with the unfinished work on myself and how I am conducting my business in the world.
I am consciously working on a better relationship with self… Unconditional Positive regard for myself. this is going well. My relationship with my Partner Deb, is deepening and more loving…. I am working on healing an injury that I have had for 6 months, and this appears to be changing for the better.
Upon rising, here in Seattle @0340, I offered silence and a peaceful heart, ready to start the day. Blessings of love , joy and equanimity to all in the world.
Oh…. I so enjoyed reading this….. brought me into the center of my self… thank you
Erich…You might also know, that whatever her behavior is, it has nothing to do with you…. at all. Her behavior and ways of being were set long before you came into the world. I would approach her with curiosity and be free of taking anything she says or does personally. You are always free to choose to engage in a different way….. Don’t swallow the hook! All the best!
Blessings of peace, love and longevity… Check out, Dr. Marty Ross, here in Seattle Washington. He is one of the foremost experts on Lyme and treats it with Integrative Medicine. He and I both work with Lyme and some of the dis ease that comes with it. His web site is http://www.thehealingartspartnership.net. He consults with folks all over the world, and he has a great webinar as well. blessings
Beautiful!! Awareness coupled with mindfulness and fierce love!
