Five Reasons Your Meditation or Spiritual Practice Might Nt be Going the Way you’d Like - Clear Sky Meditation Centre

I don’t know about you, but I’d say my spiritual progress has had both ups and, well I won’t say downs, I’ll say plateaus. Now that I think about it, just when I’ve felt like I’m struggling most, that’s often when my teachers have commented how well I’m doing. So who am I to judge the status of my non-self?

Whether we need to know how things are going or not (for them to actually be going well, or not) there are things we can do to increase the chances we’re making progress in our meditation or spiritual growth in general.

Healing my Confusion - how I learned to take action instead of freezing - Clear Sky Meditation & Study Center

Mindfulness and Clarity Heal Confusion Do you find life sometimes confusing? Do you sometimes blame your confusion on someone else? Or perhaps you beat yourself up for things? Me, too.

Do you also like to explore? Me, too. I invite you to explore this topic with me.

Here’s the insight I’d like to offer: Confusion is a lack of clarity, plain and simple. Fortunately, it is also a choice.

Why fortunately? If it’s a choice, it can be healed, and in fact meditating has shown me that it can be healed. Read more @ https://www.clearskycenter.org/healing-my-confusion/

How Structure and Routine Helps Your Day Get Started - Clear Sky Meditation & Study Center

A teacher colleague and I were talking recently about our morning routines. I shared that I’m often in a rush from the time I get up, right into the beginning of my day at school. As a working Mom, her struggles are around getting her children ready in the morning, especially while carrying the feeling of “How can I get everything done?” in the back of her mind.

Tips for Mindfulness in Daily Life - Clear Sky Meditation & Study Center

When meditating, we aim to pay great attention to what’s going on. Bare attention to what’s going on in the body, the senses, and the mind. Of course, the goal is to be paying attention all of the time, to be as awake and alive as we can, all of the time. The modern word for this is mindfulness. The meditation cushion is like going to the gym, it’s intensive training so our minds can be in good shape off the cushion. Meditation, then, is an important training and conditioning that we do because we want agile minds, because we want to maintain space throughout the day to stay in contact with a sense of calm and perspective. Mindfulness is cumulative. Read now @ https://www.clearskycenter.org/tips-for-mindfulness-in-daily-life-part-1/

Loneliness, and How to Shift it by Learning to Say Yes to New Experiences- Clear Sky Meditation Centre

I’m part of an amazing spiritual community and I work with great people and yet, like many of us, I’m prone to this modern dis-ease, loneliness.

The thing is, I recently moved to a new town where I was starting from scratch. Staying busy kept the loneliness bug at bay, for sure. When I wasn’t engaged in some project or other, however, my peace of mind deteriorated and in the end I had to admit that keeping loneliness at a distance just doesn’t work.

Luckily, over the years I’ve learned some tools that helped me explore what was going on. Here, I share some insights that I hope will help others dealing with loneliness. To Read more visit online @ https://www.clearskycenter.org/3-ways-shift-loneliness/
