@Zubair123kk I can't take credit for the 'absence of the sacred', it's a great book from the 90s. I enjoy the thoughtform of the 'prison of numbers', numbers are that strange middle ground between imagination and reality, like the soul. They capture our attention because they describe what cannot be otherwise described.

The only way to preserve our humanity is with intent and attention. #vipassana has saved my mind, and fundamentally, it's the practice of attention on the mind-body intersection. It's up to each of us to escape the mental imprisonment of our economy and our culture to discover what is truly meaningful for us.

It surely will not be whatever the wardens want it to be.

Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion his mind is liberated.

I practiced #vipassana many years to learn the meditation technique & philosophy & I lived in #Myanmar where it is still central to Buddhist sangha practice in the monasteries. But monks and nuns are 100% taken care of by lay people. They live outside everyday life and do not have to function in it…

🪷 Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Jack Kornfield 🪷

✨ How can you sit in love and live in love rather than in fear? The first step is to love your fear. There’s a way in which you actually have to bow to the fear and say, “ I know you. You too are part of this humanity.” – Jack Kornfield ✨

Having gone to a 10 day #Vipassana retreat, I recognize that the #technique gives me the #sensitivity and the tools to work on my #adhd.

1. I am aware of #anxiety popping up where I would not have noticed it, before.
2. I can observe my #focus getting twitchy because of my anxiety, trying to find #peace somewhere.
3. I can prevent it latching onto random thoughts.
4. I can redirect my focus to #consciousness, #balance and my #body.

This retrains the #compulsion into a me that I enjoy more ❤️‍🩹

Möge ich ruhig sein.
Möge ich gesund sein.
Möge ich sicher sein.
Möge mein Herz leicht sein.

May I be peaceful.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe.
May my heart be at ease.
