“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. I remember once, some many years ago when my son was first attending day care.

Forgiving our way to freedom…
Another wonderful meditation by Tara Brach that I’d like to share with you:
Living with chronic blame or resentment is a trance that confines us to a limited fragment of what we are. This talk looks at the ways this trance is fueled and the process by which we release the armoring around our hearts.
A forgiving heart…
Tara Brach writes:
Self-aggression, whether it’s low key blame or deep condemnation, prevents us from intimacy with others and discovering the truth and wholeness of our Being. This talk explores how we can release self-blame, and free ourselves to access our natural warmth and creativity in responding to our world.

Meditation Health Benefits: What The Practice Does To Your Body
Meredith Melnick writes:
We hear it all the time: Meditation can improve our creative thinking, our energy, stress levels and even our success. Prominent artists, businessmen and politicians cop to the practice. Would it work for you?
“It did to my mind what going to the gym did to my body — it made it both stronger and more flexible,” said Dr. Hedy Kober, a neuroscientist who who studies the effects of mindfulness meditation, which she has practiced for 10 years, at her lab at Yale University. She admitted during a TED Talk that she started meditating to deal with a break up, but found that it helped her handle stress and unpleasant feelings in all areas of her life.
Studies show that meditation is associated with improvement in a variety of psychological areas, including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, eating disorders and cognitive function, among others. There’s also research to suggest that meditation can reduce blood pressure, pain response, stress hormone levels and even cellular health. But what does it actually do to the body?

Enemies or Teachers: What Difficult People Can Teach Us
FinerMinds writes:
Remember back in school when you had that teacher that no matter what, always seemed to pick on your work or behavior, causing you to complain relentlessly about the “injustice” you were experiencing to your family each day?
While we may no longer be in school, throughout our adult lives it’s inevitable that we’ll come across people who again test our patience in exactly the same way that teacher did back in our adolescence.
In this amusing 3-minute video, Buddhist nun Pema Chodron reveals the important role these “troublemakers” play in our lives, and what they’re really there to teach us. While understanding this may not detract from their frustrating behavior, it does help you look at things from a different perspective.

6 Ways To Reconnect With Your Most Powerful Self
@AmandaLeCe had a post on @mindbodygreen this morning that was so good, I decided you needed to see the whole thing right here:
Between all the tasks, people and activities competing for our attention every day, it’s so easy to get lost in the routine and lose touch of our most powerful, loving selves. Before we know it, we’re acting out of habit or are glued to the computer. The following are some ways I get real, and come back to myself:
