The Worldly Winds

Each of our lives will be touched by what are called the winds of the world. Moments of praise and blame, success and failure, pleasure and pain, gain and loss are woven into every human life. In the light of approval and praise, we glow; in the light of disapproval and blame, we find ourselves ashamed and withering.  Understandably we […]

Why is Samadhi Hard?

When we practice, we are often faced with a very wayward and uncooperative mind. Though we have intentions to be present and attend wholeheartedly, we find, time and time again, those intentions and our attention are hijacked and sabotaged by passing thoughts, plans, ruminations, and memories.

There’s No Right Amount of Time to Sit

There is no right amount of time to sit. In my own experience in developing samadhi, you need to listen inwardly.

Lack of Sleep Makes You More Selfish – Better Sleep Council | Start every day with a good night’s sleep

In our last post, we discussed findings from a UC Berkeley study that demonstrated how sleep-deprived subjects not only felt lonelier but also avoided close contact in much the same way as people with social anxiety.

Why Did the Buddha Cultivate Samadhi?

Samadhi is not something that is unique to the Buddhist path. If you look at any contemplative tradition in any religion, you will see the same encouragement to learn how to sustain a wholeheartedness, intention, and attention. You will see the encouragement to gather, calm, and listen inwardly.  We can pretty much accurately assume that the practice of samadhi was […]
