The art of meditation and relationships

======================

My dear,

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

~Albert Camus

Hurt love

======================

Hurt is as much a part of life as love is. Without the pain of being hurt, you never reach your potential to love.

The art of meditation and relationships

======================

9. We don't know how to maintain interest in one thing or one person anymore. We live in a world pulling our attention in a million different directions. The practice of meditation--attending to one thing and then returning our attention to it when we become distracted, over and over and over again--is an essential art. When we are constantly encouraged to attend to the shiny surface of things and to move on when we get a little bored, making our life a meditation upon the person we love is a revolutionary act. And it is absolutely essential if any marriage is to survive and thrive.

Ego and Higher-Self

======================

Ego: I am a victim of circumstance.

Higher-self: I create my own reality.

Ego: I live in scarcity.

Higher-self: I live in abundance. There is always enough.

Ego: I am alive temporarily. That is scary.

Higher-self: I am alive temporarily. That is awesome.

Ego: I am a machine made of accidental 1’s and 0’s.

Higher-self: I am an artist made of infinite energy.

Ego: I am in competition with the world.

Higher-self: I am in harmony with the world.

Ego: It’s complicated.

Higher-self: I am happy.

#0837 Ego Wins

Inner Peace Be Upon You

------------------------------------------------------------

Ego Wins

======================

4. Ego wins. We've all got one. We came by it honestly. Probably sometime around the fourth grade when kids started to be jerks to us. Maybe earlier if our family members were jerks first. The ego was a good thing. It kept us safe from the emotional slings and arrows. But now that we're grown and married, the ego is a wall that separates. It's time for it to come down. By practicing openness instead of defensiveness, forgiveness instead of vengeance, apology instead of blame,vulnerability instead of strength, and grace instead of power.

Your mother

======================

Reported by Abu Hurairah (RA): A person came to Messenger of God (peace be upon him) and asked, “Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment?’’ He (peace be upon him) said, “Your mother”. He again asked, “Who next?’’ “Your mother”, the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied again. He asked, “Who next?’’ He (the Prophet (peace be upon him)) said again, “Your mother.’’ He again asked, “Then who?’’ Thereupon he (peace be upon him) said,’’ Then your father.’’

#0835 Corpse Pose

---------------------------------------------------------------

Inner Peace Be Upon You

# 0835 Peace and Blessings Every Day

------------------------------------------------------------

Corpse Pose

======================

Yoga consists of a lot of movements, stretches, and holds.

All of these work to build your energy,

stamina, help muscle control, and ultimately to help you feel

great when it is combined with a focus on your breathing.

All of these movements, stretches, and holds are meant to prepare

you for one final task, which is considered the most difficult yoga pose.

This last position in yoga is called Sevasana.

I’ve had multiple yoga instructors, and each has referred

to this final pose as such. My most current instructor told

us at the end of the session to prepare not for Sevasana but

“Corpse Pose.”

What an interesting way to put it. It means the same thing

after all.

What is it? You ask.

This very difficult pose is when the yogi (person practicing yoga)

is lying down on his/her back with the eyes closed and hands/legs spread.

What makes this difficult is while you are lying down, you are supposed

to focus on nothing.

That’s it.

We do everything during that session to prepare

for that final pose of just lying down.

As I thought about this, I thought about our own existence as humans.

From the start of our birth we are on this constant toil of movements and actions. At

times we are placed in holds too.  Often, we fail to remember that everything

we are doing is meant to get us to our final position.

This final position, in our own lives, is the “Corpse Pose” as well.

Everything that we do leads to the point in our lives where we can do no

more. We wait until we are placed before our creator, and the only things that will count

for the lives that we led  are those movements and actions that lead

up to the Corpse Pose.

If we constantly remind ourselves that we all end up in the Corpse Pose,

we can make better decisions during the process, and live our lives where our movements

and actions constitute good deeds that outnumber any bad ones

#0831 What I learned from a 2-year old

---------------------------------------------------------------

Inner Peace Be Upon You

# 0831 Peace and Blessings Every Day

------------------------------------------------------------

What I learned from a 2-year old

======================

As parents we are expected to teach our children a lot of things. We normally don't view it as children teaching the parents. Yet, here I am at the playground with Zayan who is a few weeks shy of being two years old, and he is teaching me something very important.

No matter who passes by him, he yells out "Hi!!"  and waves his hand with such power. Or gives the Muslim greeting of peace Assalamualikum "Peace be upon you."

He does not discriminate either.

He will greet anyone and everyone...even people driving by in cars.

Their reactions are the best. At first they are thinking who in the world is greeting them, but then the energy of his “Hi!!” becomes contagious and they are waving back saying “Hi!!” all gleefully and full of joy.

I, on the other hand,  do not think to say hi or greet strangers often enough.

One of the best things you can do is give greetings of peace especially to people you don't know and pass by.  As I consider myself a Muslim, it is one of the tenants to greet strangers and non-strangers alike with a greeting of peace.. We often pass each other by either looking at our phones or toward the ground and never think to give a simple “Hi” or a smile.

Today at the playground my child proved that children can teach parents, and with that teaching I leave this with a...

“Hi!!”
