Spirituality is not a religion or a trend—it is a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of awareness that combines the understanding of faith, body, mind, and soul, allowing us to live modern-day enlightened lives in small and big ways.

Emma Mildon, The Soul Searcher's Handbook: A Modern Girl's Guide to the New Age World

[lazyyogi]

Forgiveness is about making peace with reality. It means you let go of your inner resistance regarding present circumstances and what led to them. As a result, you are free to fully focus on how to move forward productively. Forgiveness does not mean that you approve of what you are forgiving. It is not the same as condoning. When you forgive yourself, it means you are being gentle and honest. When you forgive others, it means you are being compassionate and sane.

☆ Capitalism resembles a game of appearances. Like a chess match, we play this game on an imaginary social hierarchy where we get placed with or without our consent. Our value is often determined by superficial factors such as wealth, attractiveness, racial factors, heteronormativity, and anything else that brings forth privilege.

YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE

What you do is what the whole universe is doing at the place you call "here and now," and you are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

You didn't come into this world; you came out of it. Like a wave from the ocean.

We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples."

Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.

Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies.

We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.

You, yourself, are the eternal energy which appears as this Universe.

The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real deep-down you is the whole universe.

Basically, there is simply nothing to worry about, because you yourself are the eternal energy of the universe.

You are the universe experiencing itself.

-Alan Watts (Selected Quotes)

“[T]he desire for bliss creates pain. Thus bliss becomes the seed of pain. The entire universe of pain is born of desire. Give up the desire for pleasure and you will not even know what pain is.”

"Work alone is your privilege, never the fruits thereof. Never let the fruits of action be your motive; and never cease to work. Work in the name of the Lord, abandoning selfish desires. Be not affected by success or failure. This equipoise is called Yoga"

--- Bhagavad Gita

I don’t believe we should carry backupplans in life’s suitcase—they’re too easy to unpack like living a life in yoga pants, so comfortable our hips spreadinto new timezones...

[mahayanapilgrim]

The ancient Greek philosopher and thinker Zeno of Citium (334 BC — 262) observed that life is a series of continuous, instantaneous changes.

He taught that to reach contentment, we must learn how to live in a way that is neither too much nor too little.

We must learn how to adopt natural ease and detachment from worldly complexities so as not to be either overly tense and anxious when things go wrong or overly relaxed when they go right.

He believed there are no permanent or stasis states in the world; everything flows, fluctuates, and changes constantly. “The end may be defined as life in accordance with nature or, in other words, in accordance with our own human nature as well as that of the universe,” quoted by Diogenes Laërtius, in Lives of Eminent Philosophers: ‘Zeno’, 7.87.

Zeno was the first to formalize Stoic philosophy. Stoicism is a school of thought that focuses on acceptance and adaptation to situations and external events in the most positive manner possible while at the same time minimizing any negative effects they may have on one’s well-being. Stoicism lays great emphasis on living a virtuous life in accordance with the cycle of nature.

Sōham - Sanskrit.

But what is it?

Well, "I am--," used in mantra/breathwork meditation to a chant that is commonly: "I am that I am," and or, "I am one with the Universe and all of creation."

Sound familiar?

It is identifying oneself as part of the fabric of reality creation.

It can also be interpreted as, "I am the absolute," or, "I am the great truth."

Depends on context/modification.

The Quest for Buddhism (120)

Buddhist cosmology

Samatha-vippasana – Buddhist yoga

Samatha-vipassana is the main form of Buddhist meditation and yogic practice, yoga. In a broad sense, it is part of Zen.

Buddhist yoga practice is samatha-vippasana, in which samatha (stillness: Ref) and vippasana (insight: Ref2) take place simultaneously. The emphasis on observation as well as cessation is characteristic of Buddhist meditation methods. Cessation and contemplation are often compared to two wheels, which are inseparable. The diverse development of this technique of prayer and meditation, incorporating yogic contemplation (meditation), is a characteristic of Buddhism.

Buddhist yoga encompasses a variety of methods which aim to develop the 37 aids to awakening (Ref3). Its ultimate goal is bodhi (awakening) or nirvana (cessation), traditionally seen as the permanent end of suffering (dukkha) and rebirth. Buddhist texts use a number of terms for spiritual praxis in addition to yoga, such as bhavana ("development": Ref4) and jhana (dhyana: Ref5).

In early Buddhism, yoga practices included:

the rupa dhyanas (four meditations or mental absorptions: Ref6),

the four satipatthanas (foundations or establishments of mindfulness),

anapanasati (mindfulness of breath: Ref7),

the four immeasurable minds (supranormal states of mind),

the brahmaviharas (divine abodes: Ref8).

Anussati (contemplations, recollections)

*Note: the four satipatthanas are the most central and most important contemplation for attaining enlightenment since the time of the Buddha's early Buddhism, and the core contemplative practice of the main Buddhist meditation of samatha-vipassana.

These meditations were seen as supported by the other elements of the Noble Eightfold Path (Ref9), such as ethics, right exertion, sense restraint and right view. Two mental qualities are said to be indispensable for yoga practice in Buddhism: samatha (calm, stability) and vipassanā (insight, clear seeing). Samatha is a stable, relaxed mind, associated with samadhi (mental unification, focus) and dhyana (a state of meditative absorption). Vipassana is insight or penetrative understanding into the true nature of phenomena, also defined as "seeing things as they truly are" (yathābhūtaṃ darśanam). A unique feature of classical Buddhism is its understanding of all phenomena (dhamma) as being empty of a self (Pali: anatta Skt: anatman, literally "non-self").

仏教の探求 (120)

仏教の宇宙論

止観 〜 仏教ヨガ

止観 (しかん、梵: ｻﾏﾀ･ｳﾞｨﾊﾟｯｻﾅｰ) とは、仏教の瞑想の主なものであり、ヨガ行である。広い意味で禅の一部に組み込まれている。

仏教のヨガ行は、サマタ (止: 参照) とヴィパッサナー (観: 参照2) が同時に行われる止観である。サマタ (止) だけでなくヴィパッサナー (観) も重視するところに、仏教の瞑想法の特徴がある。止観は、しばしば2つの車輪に例えられ、不離の関係にある。ヨーガ観法 (瞑想法) を取り入れて、この祈りと瞑想の技術が多様に発展したことが、仏教の特徴であるといえる。

仏教のヨガは、悟りを開くための37の修行項目（参照3）を開発することを目的とした様々な方法が組み込まれている。その究極の目標は菩提 (覚醒) または涅槃 (止)で、伝統的には苦 (梵･巴: ﾄﾞｩｯｶ) と転生の永久的な終わりと見なされている。仏典では、ヨガ行に加えて、瞑想の発達 (ﾊﾞｰｳﾞｧﾅｰ: 参照4) や禅定 (ぜんじょう、梵: ﾃﾞｲﾔｰﾅ、巴: ｼﾞｬｰﾅ: 参照5) など、精神修養のための用語がいくつか使われている。

初期仏教では、ヨガの修行には以下のようなものがあった:

四禅 (しぜん、梵: ﾙｰﾊﾟﾃﾞｲﾔｰﾅ、四つの瞑想または精神的吸収: 参照6）

四念処 (しねんじょ、巴: ﾁｬｯﾀｰﾛｰ･ｻﾃｨﾊﾟｯﾀｰﾅｰ、マインドフルネスの基礎となるもの）

安那般那念 (あんなはんなねん、巴:ｱｰﾅｰﾊﾟｰﾅ･ｻﾃｨ、呼吸を意識すること: 参照7）

四無量心 (しむりょうしん、巴: ｱｯﾊﾟﾏﾅｰ、心の超常的な状態: 参照8）

四梵住 (しぼんじゅう、梵･巴:ﾌﾞﾗﾌﾏｰｳﾞｨﾊｰﾗ、神聖な住まい）

アヌサティ（観想、想起）

＊注）四念処 (しねんじょ、巴: ﾁｬｯﾀｰﾛｰ･ｻﾃｨﾊﾟｯﾀｰﾅｰ)とは、釈迦の初期仏教の時代から、悟りを得るための最も中心的で最も重要な観想であり、仏教の主要な瞑想である止観の中核をなす観想法である。

これらの瞑想は、倫理、正しい努力、感覚の抑制、正しい見方など、八正道（参照9）の他の要素によって支えられていると考えられていた。仏教では、ヨガの練習に欠かせない2つの精神的資質があると言われている。それがサマタ (静寂、安定) とヴィパッサナー (洞察、明察) である。サマタ (止) とは、安定したリラックスした心のことで、サマディ (三昧: 精神統一、集中) やディヤーナ (禅定: 瞑想的吸収の状態) に関連している。ヴィパッサナー(観) は現象の本質に対する洞察や浸透的な理解であり、「物事を本当にあるがままに見る」とも定義されている。古典仏教の特徴は、すべての現象（ダンマ）を無我 (むが、巴: ｱﾅｯﾀｰ、梵: ｱﾅｰﾄﾏﾝ) のものと理解することである。
