Day 21 - landscape of experience meditation

Practicing mindfulness meditation is making The Choice to be still, to step into the quiet shade instead of running away from difficult thoughts and feelings. We sometimes call meditation non doing. Instead of being swept away by our usual condition reactions, we're quiet and watchful, fully present with what is, touching it deeply, being touched by it, and seeing what is happening in the simplest and most erect fashion possible. Today's practice is a way of weaving mindfulness into the moments of everyday levery day lives… both routine moments as well as those that are more challenging. Mindfulness mindfulness creates a spaciousness to choose which thoughts and emotions we want to nurture and which we want to let go of.
