Strength - Word of the Month
Strength is the Empoword Word of the Month. This month we are celebrating all kinds of strength. Strong bodies, building endurance and stamina. Strong minds, working hard to find creative solutions. Strong hearts, embracing change and challenges.
Finding our fortitude is tough these days. Worry gnaws at our confidence and resolve. Uncertainty and angst de-stabilize us in all sorts of ways big and small. But you are empowered! You can adjust your attitude and outlook, no matter how crazy the world gets.
Take a look at the Empoword symbol to the right. What does it remind you of? Here are some of the answers we have heard: solid foundation, building a foundation, steps up, the Olympic podium, weightlifting, muscles. Whatever this image symbolizes for you, use it to remind you to stay strong and stable, moving in a positive, can-do direction.
See strength, think strength, have strength!
… and the term ‘meditation’ translates to ‘a habituation’ or ‘to repeat’… consciously or unconsciously, we are meditating all the time… ALL the time! so the question becomes ‘what are we meditating on?’ ‘what am I habituating in my mind?’ I agree that there is no better way to do it than habituate our inner wisdom, our true nature.
choice…awareness, its a wonderful gift!
oh yeah, i forgot my favorite translation of ‘meditation’ from the Tibetan, ‘to become familiar with’
ahhhhhhhhhh
so nice.
familiarizing ourselves with ourselves, who we really are, beyond all the stories, beyond the limits, beyond all concepts… refreshing, huh…. one translation for living life connected to that all the time is ‘abiding in the natural freedom of mind’… sweet, huh.
