Conscious Living

Conscious living is living with more awareness – to wake up to the joy and positive significance of each moment. It flows from the recognition that the wisdom that we seek is already within us. All that is needed is the process of uncovering it.

Circles (Author Unknown)

We are circles, in circles
Brushing and touching
Reaching and breaching
Our narrow confines
Giving and needing
Following, leading
Calling and heeding
Reciting our lines

I am dedicated to developing greater compassion, connectedness and equanimity with each step forward and I’m learning to forgive myself when I backslide. These are the qualities that I’m specifically dedicated to developing through meditation and conscious living:

• dana = authentic generosity (charitable giving of the self and sharing of possessions, donation)
• metta = selfless love and good will toward all beings (loving kindness)
• karuna = compassion (respect, acceptance, forgiveness)
• mudita = altruistic joy filled with peace and contentment (appreciative joy at the success and good fortune of others)
• sila = abstaining from physical and vocal actions that cause harm to oneself and others
• uppekka = equanimity (an inclusive state of open mind free of attachment, aversion, bigotry, craving, ignorance and intolerance)
