Re: Meditation with challenges
That was absolutely hilarious Eelco! Thank you for sharing.
I see your love shining out from my furry friends faces, when I look into their eyes. I see you in the flower’s smile, the rainbow, and the wind in the trees....

Re: Meditation with challenges

Good luck with all that! (I say through the chuckles...)

Do not fashion me a maiden who needs saving from the dragons. I am the Dragon. And I will eat you whole.

Re: Meditation with challenges
Lol thats my youngest son, Arend (Eagle).
We are allowed to comb his hair, but no scissors..
Don't worry your not the first to mistake him for a girl...
Best one was at swimming lessons about a month ago where some girl asked her mom "why does that girl have boys gear down there".....

Re: Meditation with challenges
Doh! Apologies to Arend. In my defense, I must say there isn't much way to tell one way or the other, with that video. And I guarantee you I would not notice the equipment at that age. Lol....Oy!Eelco wrote:Lol thats my youngest son, Arend (Eagle).

Re: Meditation with challenges
I thought of you this morning, Eelco. This morning's meditation challenge for me:

Really, you just never know what the background distraction will be at my house.
Hope all is going well with your meditation efforts
Much Love,

Re: Meditation with challenges
I face similar challenges with my practices. Playing-with-kids Meditation, Petting-cats Meditation, and more recently, Pecked-at-by-chickens Meditation, all in all, difficult forms to master.

"The Buddha said that a well-trained mind is the most useful thing and the untrained mind the most dangerous thing to have. An untrained mind causes a lot of trouble to oneself and others, so begin by dedicating quite a lot of time and patience to the cultivation of concentration."
"A clear mind can look so directly, intensely and so penetratingly that we can see through experience and see it for what it really is."
Niiiice. Sometimes I come around to my breath to refocus, when I catch myself identifying with thoughts. Otherwise, I don't focus on the breath. I may try it to see what that's like.
Do things in your life start to go berzerk when you pick up meditation practice, Eelco?
I can't imagine chicken pecking meditation. That would take some doing, fo sho.
