Serenely Encounter Reality

Sitting in mindfulness, both our bodies and minds can be at peace and totally relaxed. . . Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality. Thich Nhat Hanh

The habit of ‘apparent reality’ can be unhooked by plumbing the depths of your essential nature. In busyness it is difficult to experience, however, it unfolds effortlessly in spaciousness.

In each moment throughout your day today, as often as possible, use your breath and attention as a gateway to the spaciousness that is always present. In the spaciousness you will find that nothing is fixed and things are not as they appear. You will notice the stream of moreness that imbues ‘reality’ with all its textures. You will notice that it is VERY fluid, in constant movement.

You will also notice, paradoxically, that there is an element of, ‘always has been, evermore.’ It is an unchanging, timeless stream woven into the fluidity of movement. It is this primal energy of sourceness which gives rise to the hues and flavors of creation.

Bring this knowing to all of your encounters, notice it when you are speaking to your children, when you are shopping for groceries, when you are walking or eating. Notice how this awareness changes everything. It changes how you see, what you feel and how you experience everything.

Know that this engagement makes ALL the difference. It is how you create everything. It’s ALL here, only your being and seeing make it so.
