You are an energetic being. The universe is an endless ocean of energy. If you’ve been feeling small and insufficient, expand your field of awareness and let oceans, skies, and vast realms of space breathe through you. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush You are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in a drop. ―Rumi This is an invitation to allow the word here to be with you this week. Like a touchstone, here echoes in your mind throughout the day, as a reminder to come back to this moment now. To feel your body. To sense the ground and space around you. Like a mini-meditation, you remember to be present. After all, when is it ever not now? In mindful presence, Lori Furbush Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.
―Jon Kabat-Zinn Did you ever notice how it feels when a darkened, cloudy sky slowly clears? When a raging storm passes? When turbulent winds settle? There is a calm. Nature is resting. You too can just rest. Sitting, breathing, observing. And after a while, you may find that your inner clouds and storms and winds are still there, but you have become more like the sky, open to observing their forming and passing. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush You are the sky. Everything else―it’s just the weather.
