  2. L’élévation de l’esprit humain

    Il existe peu d’images aussi universellement partagées que celle de l’élévation. D’une tradition à l’autre, les vocabulaires changent, les cosmologies divergent, les pratiques s’opposent parfois, et pourtant, presque partout, l’esprit humain se pense comme permettant une ascension. Comme si l’esprit humain, quelle que soit la langue dans laquelle il se pense, ne pouvait décrire sa propre transformation qu’en empruntant à la verticalité : monter, s’élever, gravir, […]

  4. Steps to Cultivate a Mindful, Intentional Life

    The benefits of intentional living are numerous and can significantly improve one’s overall well-being. By slowing down and appreciating the present moment, we reduce stress, increase mindfulness, and improve our relationships with others. Additionally, slow living can lead to greater purpose and fulfillment as we learn to prioritize what truly matters and let go of society’s unnecessary distractions and pressures. Embracing slow living can lead to a happier, healthier, and more meaningful life.

    Slowing Down My Mornings

    I’ve been starting some of my mornings sitting in my backyard, gazing off into the woods

    Listening to the birds, crickets, and other insects is a symphony of nature’s silence in its splendor

    The gentle breeze stirs the leaves on the tree, as sunlight infuses them with a golden light, slowly shifting towards verdant green hues

    I feel the soft breeze on my skin; a hint of coolness, subtleties of spring

    My awareness rests upon delicate spiderwebs that shimmer as the sun catches and reflects minuscule worlds in each droplet of dew

    I hear a hawk, more near now, searching for prey, as it glides silently above

    There is so much promise in the morning light

    Intentional Living

    Living intentionally is a lifestyle that requires purposeful actions, thoughts, and feelings. It is a conscious effort to make choices that align with your values and goals. When you practice intentional or mindful living, you can significantly reduce stress, increase happiness, and improve relationships. To achieve this balance, you must set clear intentions, develop a holistic daily routine, practice mindfulness, and reflect on your actions and decisions. By doing so, you can create a more meaningful and satisfying life. Intentional living is a powerful tool that can help you attain balance and fulfillment in all aspects of your life.

    Steps to Begin Living an Intentional Life

    1. Define Your Values
      Identify what truly matters to you in life. Consider areas such as family, health, career, and personal growth.
    2. Set Clear Intentions
      Establish specific, meaningful goals that align with your core values. Write them down to solidify your commitment.
    3. Prioritize Your Time
      Focus on activities that support your intentions. Create a schedule that dedicates time to these priority tasks while eliminating distractions.
    4. Practice Mindfulness
      Incorporate mindfulness techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or journaling into your daily routine to enhance self-awareness.
    5. Reflect Regularly
      Take time each week to reflect on your actions and decisions. Assess whether they align with your intentions and values, and make necessary adjustments.
    6. Cultivate Gratitude
      Maintain a gratitude journal where you acknowledge positive aspects of your life. This practice helps you stay motivated and engaged.
    7. Embrace Flexibility
      Understand that living intentionally is a journey. Be open to adapting your goals and routines as needed to stay aligned with your evolving self.
    8. Seek Support
      Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who inspire and encourage your intentional living journey. Engage in communities that share your values.

    By following these steps, you can start to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

    Personal Experience

    I have been practicing intentional living on and off for decades; however, it is in the last 4.5 years that this practice has truly become an integral part of my daily life. The major shift that prompted this transformation occurred when I made the life-changing decision to stop drinking. Since then, I have embraced a way of being that is both deliberate yet yielding, allowing me to navigate life with a newfound sense of flexibility. There has been a softening in my approach to life that I’ve come to cherish deeply. I am more centered in my values, having gained a clearer understanding of the importance of setting healthy boundaries while also being open to new experiences. This has fostered a more lighthearted attitude, enabling me to fully live in the moment without the weight of past habits. I find renewed joy in the little things and an appreciation for the journey rather than just the destination.

    Embracing Intentionality

    I tend to reevaluate my values and intentions seasonally. The natural shift blends seamlessly with how I need to view life as an ever-changing flow of experiences and lessons. This past season, I carefully examined the time I spent on various tasks and habits throughout the day. How much time I was spending on my phone was disquieting, as it became a barrier to deeper interactions and meaningful activities.

    A shift towards intentionality was required to regain focus on what truly matters. I decided to read more instead of scrolling or playing mindless games on the phone. To accomplish this, I installed the app Opal on my phone, which allows me to limit the time I spend on the phone or certain apps, transforming my relationship with technology. I went from an average of 7 hours a day on the phone down to 3.3 hours a day on average, gaining back years of my life. Now I have reclaimed time for hobbies, self-improvement, and spending quality moments with loved ones.

    Naturalness

    These small shifts can have a significant impact over time. When we practice intentional living, we align with our true nature. We begin to remember that we are a part of the Earth and her cycles, and we learn to flow with the pace of nature: patience.

    What small steps can you take to move towards a more deliberate life, one open to experience, yet focused by healthy boundaries?

    Meditation for Slowing Down

    Try a delightful Morning Meditation. It cultivates a sense of calm and tranquility, helping you to gently ease into your day.

    Additionally, if you wish to delve deeper into your meditation journey, you might find the Body Scan Meditation incredibly helpful for harmonizing your mind, body, and spirit. I hope this guides you toward peace and mindfulness throughout your day!

  5. Laotse

    Wer sich dem Lernen hingibt,
    nimmt täglich zu.
    Wer sich dem Tao hingibt,
    nimmt täglich ab
    und kommt so zum Nicht-Tun.

    Verweilend im Nicht-Tun
    bleibt doch nichts ungetan.

    Will man die Welt gewinnen,
    so sei man stets frei von Geschäftigkeit.
    Ist einer viel beschäftigt,
    so eignet er sich nicht, die Welt zu gewinnen.

    Jeremiah, Jonah, and Proverbs walk with us through judgment, surrender, and renewal.
    Empires fall, storms calm, and faith endures the contraction.

    After the war
    come the bad harvests. ^2

    sequence of great armies there are sure to be bad years. ^3

    There will brambles grow;
    In the wake of a mighty army
    Bad harvests follow without fail. ^4
    .> Where armies are quartered briars and thorns grow. Great wars unfailingly are followed by famines. A good man acts resolutely and then stops. He ventures not to take by force. ^5

    "The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities. It is hidden but always present. I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God."

    [#daodejing #taoteching by #Laotse #laotzu translated by Stephen Mitchell]

    The #dao #tao is "infinity." It is everything, every being, molecule, atom, quark, boson, particle, wave, & force. It is time and everything time contains.

  9. ...If I am to live in accord with the #dao, I must not work for the rewards, or the accolades. When it's time to work, I must not focus on all the possible outcomes but the work itself. And then move on. To have balance is to be present and perform mindfully, and diligently, and then let it go. Give it my best, and then forget it. (4/4)
