What is Anapanasati Meditation

What is Anapanasati Meditation?
‘Ana’ means ‘In-Breath’ 
‘Apana’ means ‘Out-Breath’
‘Sati’ means ‘Be With’

In “Anapanasati Meditation“,
the attention of the mind should constantly be on the normal, natural breath.
The task on hand is effortful, joyful oneness with the breath.
No ”mantra” to be chanted…
no form of any ‘ deity ‘ to be entertained in the mind…
no hathayogic pranayama like ‘ kumbhaka ‘..
holding the breath.. should be attempted.

How to Measure Consciousness With the Map of Consciousness

  Can you measure consciousness? This question always fascinated me.  Before encountering the Map of Consciousness, the only methods of measuring one’s consciousness and spiritual growth I knew of were Monitoring your personal response to life  Verification from a highly evolved teacher or enlightened being Calibrating your experiences with the ones described in ancient texts Apparently there are also some machines that measure aura’s or energies, but I’m not sure this is quite the same as consciousness. I still think these can all be valuable methods, but they aren’t exactly easy and leave lots of ambiguity. For most people, the entire experience of trying to feel good all the time and grow spiritually is a winding and at times disorienting path. If we could treat consciousness and well-being like fitness, then people would have some barometer for how they’re doing and what they can do to improve. David Hawkins  Map of Consciousness  was the first thing I’d see...

As you give, so shall you receive...A Ripple of Kindness

A Ripple of Kindness Sarah was a waitress, her life a modest tapestry woven with dreams of a future where a new washing machine replaced her weary old one. The hum of its worn-out motor was a constant, a low-grade ache against her hopes. One ordinary day, destiny, disguised as a hungry couple, stepped into her world. Their story was etched with lines of hardship. Months without pay had stretched their finances thin, their hope frayed at the edges. As they sat, their eyes scanning the menu, a silent plea hung in the air. Sarah, with a heart attuned to unspoken needs, suggested the cheapest dishes. Their relief was palpable, a stark contrast to the emptiness in her own wallet. Unseen by the couple, she made a choice that would redefine her world. With trembling hands, she scribbled a note and slipped it into the billfold. It was a silent vow, a promise kept in the currency of kindness. A hundred dollars, a meager sum in the grand scheme, but a lifeline in their desperate worl...
