Having a meditation practice is like going to your very own special place. It’s like experiencing a peaceful (sometimes- not so peaceful- but no judgment allowed) space in your mind.

According to Buddhist tradition the main cause of human “suffering” is either attachment or aversion. In other words, clinging or pushing away. 
 
This is not an easy thing to manage as we all live with preferences. It is natural. We over value things we are attached to, and often dismiss things or people to which we are averse.However, our tendency to do this keeps us from seeing things as they really are. 
 
It is important to recognize the extent that we let these desires or dislikes influence our words, mood and actions.
 
This week just become aware of your preferences and try to be more like the tree allowing the birds to come and go!

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. If there is someone in your life that you have negative feelings or a grudge against- offering them forgiveness (that doesn’t mean acceptance of their behavior) is actually an act of kindness toward yourself.

Bearing that burden of anger, disgust or hatred can be damaging to your life.

They don’t even have to know (if you choose not to share) that you are forgiving them. You decide for you- and then it’s time to let it go. For you!!!!!

We all experience these things we call "coincidences." I really believe they are gifts and that synchronicity is a powerful ‘wink’ from the Universe telling us that yes, we’re on the right track.

It could be a call from someone that you're thinking about, an unexpected sale on that item you've been eyeing for a while or even looking at the clock and seeing repeated numbers like 11:11, 2:22, 3:33 etc. We are shown so many gifts all the time, but we are often too busy to notice. 

This week become more aware of your opportunities to feel connected to the universe 1) Slow down and pay attention to the "gifts" you are given 2) Express your gratitude as you would for any other gift!! HAPPY MONDAY!

Just like any device you have – when it gets overloaded it needs to be unplugged and plugged back in for a reboot. We are the same- we all need to unplug and allow ourselves to reboot, refresh and recharge. This week make sure to give yourself some “unplug time” so that you too can feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to roll!

I will never forget the first time that I heard the
"Serenity Prayer." I loved the idea of actually living it.

I try to distinguish between things that are in or out of my control. If there is something that I can do, I do my best to do it, If not I consciously work on letting it go. That helps bring me the peace and serenity that I am looking for. 
 
This week….Make a post it or print out the prayer and remind yourself when you are feeling upset to ask for……... the serenity to accept the things you can’t change, the courage to change what you can and the wisdom to know the difference and then LET IT GO!
