Gaining Insight from Obstacles

Using meditation or therapy to try to shut down parts of our experience is ultimately counterproductive. We do not have to be afraid of entering unfamiliar territory once we have learned how to hold experience within the gentleness of our own minds. Learning to transform obstacles into objects of meditation provides a much needed bridge between the stillness of the concentrated mind and the movement of real life.

The Meaning of Letting Go, by Melodie Beattie. Posted by Janice Brodowsky

"Letting go doesn’t mean we don’t care. Letting go doesn’t mean we shut down. Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible—controlling that which we cannot—and instead, focus on what is possible—which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible.” ~ Melody Beattie

A quiet place to walk in solitude, and a peaceful place to meditate. Glad I found this place so close to work.

Quietness, by Janice Brodowsky

There is something to be said for silence and quietness. There is a healing element to it. It is hard to achieve though. Whether the noise is all around you, or if your thoughts take you away from the quietness. I guess that's what meditation practice is supposed to be for. Being able to hear the noise, acknowledge it, and then go back to the breath....
In Peace,
