One Kind Thing Changes World

In Compassion on December 22, 2011 at 4:55 am

Hey everyone, I’m feeling super inspired by my friends and some amazing TED talks and videos…and I believe that the way we change the world for the better is a moment by moment thing.

So, I’m asking you all, out there in the ether, in the neighborhoods…

What is one small, compassionate, no-cost thing that you commit to do tomorrow to make the world more peaceful?

And Karen Kring, you and I will be talking soon friend.

Happy Solstice everybody!

Practice to Know Where You Are

In Tai Chi on December 9, 2011 at 2:56 pm

When you practice tai chi or qigong today, treat your practice as a meditation.

Know that you are breathing, aware of each in and out breath. Try to be aware of your whole body as you move through the postures, the form. Know where you are in each moment of practice. Then, do it again.

When you know where you are, nothing can move your mind. You can’t be thrown off-balance physically or emotionally. Working on this a little every day, makes your life more peaceful because you slow down and don’t have the stress of feeling off-balance.
