Practicing Formlessness

Morning Meds; 3 1 20

Practicing formlessness meditations allow us to slip the bounds that surround us.

We temporarily can feel the freedom of who and what we truly are.

Once we see ourselves as formless, we begin to see that we are always what we imagine ourselves to be.

This realization opens the doorway to free will and the power of choice.

We are so much more than what we allow ourselves to be.

Formlessness helps to restore our memory.

Don’t Hang On!

Morning Meds; 2 28 20

In a dinner conversation a friend of mine told me of his white-water rafting trip down the Royal Gorge.

I said something about hanging on to the raft, he corrected me and spoke.

“No, you don’t want to hang on, you need to keep paddling if you want to get through the rapids.”

In our sometimes-turbulent spiritual journey of realization,

hanging on can seem to be the right thing to do,

when the real solution is to keep on paddling till the waters still.

Let’s keep paddling,

we are all in the same boat.

Altered Evaluations

Morning Meds. 2 27 19

Changing how you evaluate something, changes its effect/energy.

Learn to cherish your faults, imperfections, and shortcomings, without them we would never learn forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love.

Treat yourself like a loved one.

Never talk worse to yourself than you would a stranger.

Move Your But

Morning Meds; 2 27 22

But nullifies what proceeds it.

It can cancel dreams before they start.

…I can write, but I haven’t the time…

…I want a new job, but it’s hard…

…I can try, but I might fail…

You need to move your but!

…I might fail, but I can try…

…It’s hard, but I want a new job…

…I haven’t the time, but I can write…

Ancient Songs

Morning Meds 2 26 22

We may be our forebearers

reclad in flesh

and songs that seem new

are just echoes of what we sang before.

Carried back to us on ancient winds,

our songs returning home.

Songs we learned from nature’s spirit,

teaching us to trust our hearts.

Songs we sang with our own voice,

from a free and vibrant time.

Songs taught to us,

one on one,

we didn’t need a translator’s voice.

Returning now to set us free,

and to remind us of where we are from.
