hack your brain’s default mode with meditation…

Published by Big Think on Aug 19, 2014:

Dan Harris explains the neuroscience behind meditation, but reminds us that the ancient practice isn’t magic and likely won’t send one floating into the cosmic ooze. He predicts that the exercise will soon become regularly scheduled maintenance, as commonplace as brushing your teeth or eating your veggies. Harris, an ABC News correspondent, was turned on to meditation after a live, on-air panic attack. His latest book is 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works–A True Story (http://goo.gl/wfSX4E).

Imagine the potential–if we accepted and appreciated ourselves as much as Chris does!

truth…nothing…

Wave Tube

When man looks for experience he becomes the body.

When he looks for knowledge he becomes the mind.

When he looks for God he becomes the Heart.

When he looks for Truth he becomes Nothing.

–Mooji

the rest is made up…

Mooji
You know you exist.
This is so natural not even your parents had to teach you that.
You instinctively know you are alive and that you are perceiving somehow.
Not even deliberately, it is just happening.
It is an effortless functioning.
And there is Awareness of that functioning.
What more can you say?
The rest is entirely made up.

a message from consciousness…

My son has an effective method for tuning in to consciousness that I’d like to share:

Rick-PlaneView

One of my favorite things to do is tune in to my Guidance. I breathe ~ feel ~ relax, then ask a question or focus on a certain topic — something I’m wanting clarity or direction on. Then I listen and write what comes:

Open your eyes. What a magical journey, this life. Your life. So many blessings, it’s incomprehensible. How your body works. How the planets work. How your planet works. How life works. How yoga works. Yes yes yes, to align with the power that is behind and within all of THAT… what could be better? You open your eyes and see this beautiful life, an expression of what you have been asking for. Was the desire something you chose? Was it? Was it deep within you, part of you, like the color of your eyes, or was it something that CHOSE YOU? What if all of your life is CHOOSING YOU? All of your life: your kids, your health, that you are still alive, the beautiful humans you know, this laptop, your boardshorts, this amazing house and tree view and pool, the sunshine… did you create ANY OF IT? Oh my god. Oh my god. Somehow you must have created ALL of it. The whole Universe. Somehow you are a consciousness in a physical body, playing in this physical world, FEELING, moving, rearranging, listening, expressing, resting, exploring. Here again, here again. This flow like a tsunami totally unstoppable!!!! HERE is your power. Be on alert for what IS HAPPENING. Be on alert for what may happen next. Listening, full attention, full interest, full wonder! The people, angels, in front of you. Are they real? How did they come into your life? From not “knowing” they existed, to THIS, NOW, HERE. Touchable. We can tell you: there are no limits. THERE ARE NO LIMITS. There is no limit to how good you can feel. There is no limit to how much you can GIVE. There is no limit to how much you can receive. There are no limits. Be fearless. Be fearless. Be fearless. Be loving. Be. Let life write through you! Let life give through you! Let life listen through you!! Let life touch through you! Hold on to nothing… not these angels, not your kids, not yourself. Let life create itself. Be here. Breathe. Yes, love that fear. Love the fears, love the joys. You win.
