“Most of the circuits in our brains run on automatic. The more you think a thought, the more energy goes into that circuit. Eventually it gets enough energy to run the thought automatically without us needing to put more energy into it. “ ~ Jill Bolte Taylor 3/5/2020
Weekly Words 3.1.20THE BELL AND THE BLACKBIRD. By David Whyte
The sound of a bell Still reverberating, or a blackbird calling from a corner of the field, asking you to wake into this life, or inviting you deeper into the one that waits. Either way takes courage, either way wants you to be nothing but that self that is no self at all, wants you to walk to the place where you find you already know how to give every last thing away. The approach that is also the meeting itself, without any meeting at all. That radiance you have always carried with you as you walk both alone and completely accompanied in friendship by every corner of the world Crying Allelujah. This week pay attention. When are you answering the sound of the bell? When are you answering the sound of the blackbird. 2/29/2020
Weekly Words 2.24.20“To become your own psychologist you don’t have to learn some big philosophy. All you have to do is examine your own mind every day. You already examine material things every day- - - every morning you check out the food in your refrigerator. Why not check out the state of your own mind? Investigating your own mind is much more important.” Lama Yeshe

Weekly Words 2.16.20Last week we discussed watching our thought patterns and feeling patterns the way we watch the weather. We are continuing to dive deeper into Jack Kornfield’s book, “The Wise Heart,” and are invited to revisit “Buddha’s Brain,” by Rick Hanson, as we consider the impacts of stress and anxiety in our daily lives.
Look at sections of your life and identify the moods, thinking, and feelings associated with them. Consider what you are holding in your tissue, in your body. We service all three bodies through our 2-hour yoga practice so that we may live fully the other 22 hours of our lives. This week we are invited to ask ourselves: What do we let change our “weather”? Just notice. Be the observer. Remember that we have the keys. We have the ability to see the weather brewing, and we have the ability to choose how to respond. As Jack Kornfield reminds us: “In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go” ― Jack Kornfield |
