This Week's Reflection

 

There's nothing easier than just being, nothing more effortless than just doing, nothing more enjoyable that experiencing the moment.

 

Thinkin is the serpent that sneaked over the garden wall and poisoned us and our experience of everyday life.

 

The antidote to that poison?

 

Just being. Just allow yourself be, just let it be, one now at a time. When we are, we're free of thought, we can do just what we need to do, without effort, without struggle, without stress, we're at our very best when we're not thinking.

 

And it was always so: when confronted by a person-eating beast in times gone by, we lived to fight another day by not thinking - if we'd stopped to think we'd be dead.

 

All we have to do is update our software for 21st century living - so that we don't just not think when confronted by threat, we don't think... full stop.

 

We stop thinking by being, when we're not thinking we are. Is this a chicken and egg situation? Not at all... we stop thinking by practicing being - the practice is daily meditation.

 

And, if you can breathe, you can meditate.
