A MIRACLE IN PLAIN CLOTHES

Who knew the #body could design its own #life if we allowed it?

The mind imagines the body as a problem to control. #Feed it, #distract it, #sedate it, #stimulate it, #argue with it, obey every itch and #craving.

But when the noise settles, the body is not stupid.

It has its own quiet #intelligence.

Given enough steadiness, it begins to choose #simplicity.

Early food. Early water. One black coffee. Breathwork. Walking. Sleep. Warmth. Rhythm.

Not because some stern inner monk is barking orders, but because the body discovers what feels good and clean.

#Temptation is mostly bad design, wearing #perfume.

The body gets promised pleasure and is handed #agitation.

But once it has #tasted real #steadiness, it begins to know the difference.

That may be the #miracle in plain clothes.

The body stops being dragged around by every passing #appetite and begins to live from its own deeper #yes

“Am I living this moment heedfully, or negligently?”

For me, that is where the verse comes alive. It steps out of ancient India and quietly enters my life. 🍃

#Meditation reveals the restless movement of wanting. Sit quietly & watch the #mind. Thoughts arise seeking comfort, pleasure, recognition, certainty, & control. One desire follows another without end. When one wish is fulfilled, another quickly appears. The #mind promises satisfaction just beyond the next achievement, possession, or experience. Yet when we observe carefully, we see that #craving itself is the source of agitation. The chase never truly ends. (2/18)

6 frozen treats to try in Toronto when you're tired of ice cream
Toronto had a long winter, followed by a spring that was, more or less, still winter, but temperatures are finally on the rise, and with them, cravings for all things sweet and ice-cold.While nothing beats a good, old-fashioned cone of ice cream, of which the city has plenty, sometimes you're simply craving something a little different to give you brain freeze...

Ven Tuvaṭaka: 'Seeing in what way is a monk unbound, clinging to nothing in the world?'

Buddha: 'He should put an entire stop to the root of objectification-classifications: "I am the thinker"'

(Aṭṭhakavagga 14, Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu's translation).

The attitudes and behavior of a monk training for the sake of total release.

Aurora – Craving (2023) drifts between dream pop, downtempo and soft electronic melancholy, building a late-night atmosphere filled with warm synth layers, slow rhythms and cinematic haze. The Kinobe remixes add a subtle lounge nostalgia that deepens the EP’s reflective mood.

The most effective way I've found to overcome habitual desires/cravings is contemplating impermanence (anicca). Throughout the day, if you see everything, including the body and thoughts, as fleeting and not good enough (compared to eternal spiritual things), everything in the world loses its appeal.

The condition of an expanding and technologically progressive system of mass-production is universal craving. Advertising is the organized effort to extend and intensify craving...
