Spiritual Practices: Beauty: Imagery Practice

dreamsofenlightenment:

This exercise, “Walk in Beauty,” is based on a Navajo prayer.

Close your eyes. Breathe out three long, slow exhalations.

See and sense beauty before you. . . . See and sense beauty behind you. . . . See and sense beauty above you. . . . See and sense beauty below you. . . . See and sense beauty all around you.

Breathe out one time. See and feel yourself walking in beauty. . . . Know that it is finished in beauty. How are you feeling?

Breathe out again and open your eyes.

“Awareness is Meditation: Remember one thing: meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation. Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action. Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly. Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alertly. Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful. The whole point is: one should not move in sleep. Then whatsoever you do is meditation.” —Osho

I guess monsoon season has started in this part of NM because it’s rained almost everyday. 

especially today. I enjoy it but it’s so cold and makes me want to stay in bed instead of work. Also, I didn’t like driving in pouring rain and hail.

Going to LA tomorrow

to get my student visa. I’m getting nervous and a little bit stressed.

  • Printer doesn’t want to print in black and there are three things I NEED to print out
  • I NEED to get a money order but I can’t find the fee online.
  • I NEED to go to Fed Ex to get a courier envelope before 1.
  • I wouldn’t be doing all this last minute if someone didn’t tell me yesterday on my way to babysitting that we were going this weekend.
  • My step-dad has the car, meaning I can’t go out to do any of this stuff. 
  • I babysit at 1, which gives me very limited time.

“The life in your breath is Om. The sound which is the soul of your breath is Om. This is then the most natural name for the Heaven within, the God, Supreme Spirit, that enlightens all spirits and all souls; the Soul of all souls, the Life of all lives is Om.” —Swami Rama Tirtha (via dirtcrumbgoddess)
