Meditation: A Compass and a Path

This mind-and-body is the vessel of my life. I want to know it with the same organic immersion that sets a snow goose flying ten thousand miles every winter and spring.

- Paul R. Fleischman -

Meditation: A Compass and a Path

"When I started meditation in the 1970s, people like my parents would say that 'Meditation is staring at your navel. It's self absorbed.' I'd been through medical school and I'd say that when you're in medical school, you go in a room, you close the door and you don't come out for four years. But no one says that's selfish. Everyone knows that it is preparation to do something valuable for society. So I if I meditate -- that's like preparation for the rest of my day -- it's a self education and one that you want to renew everyday...I sit to anchor and organize my life around my heart and mind, and to radiate out to others what I find." A fascinating DailyGood interview with psychiatrist and meditation teacher Paul R. Fleischman. { read more }

From Selling to Serving

Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis between receiving and giving.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -

From Selling to Serving

"The topic for this week's meeting was: 'What are you doing to keep your business going in these crazy-making economic times?' Several people said they have upped the number of cold calls they're making; others talked about creative ways they're using social networking to market themselves. Some are revamping their web sites and blogs; a few are exploring new business ideas, as they worry that their current businesses might not survive. When it was my turn to speak, I said, 'I've stopped making sales calls. I make service calls instead.' The group looked at me, their faces registering everything from confusion to curiosity to disbelief to disdain. So I explained what I had learned." Author BJ Gallagher explains how she made the transition in her own life and work. { read more }

Broken Bodies, Broken Minds, Amazing Spirits

Half the spiritual life consists of remembering what we are up against and where we are going.

- Ayya Khema -

Broken Bodies, Broken Minds, Amazing Spirits

"Yesterday I went to the nursing home to visit my step mom's grandma. She just got out of the hospital recently where she underwent some serious operations. I wanted to surprise her after work so I stopped by for a quick visit. When I got there she was happy to see me. We hugged, kissed and exchanged greetings. Then I heard a woman crying. It was my great grandma's roommate. The curtain was drawn so I could not see her. She started calling out a name that wasn't mine but she was definitely talking to me, begging me to go to her side of the room. I ignored her at first and continued visiting with my great grandma. Then she started begging and saying, 'Please, come see me!' So I went to see her. When I drew the curtain back she looked so old and frail but flashed me the biggest smile!" So begins this real world kindness story. { read more }

A Lost 5-yr-old Finds Family 25 Years Later

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

- C.S. Lewis -

A Lost 5-yr-old Finds Family 25 Years Later

One day in 1987, 5-year-old Saroo Brierley spent the afternoon begging for change with his brother at a local train station. When it was time to go home, the boys boarded what they thought was the correct train. They were wrong. Exhausted, the young brothers fell asleep, only to wake up 10 hours later on the other side of India, hundreds of miles away from their family. 25 years later, using little more than a vague recollection of his childhood and some help from Google Earth's mapping technology, Saroo began his miraculous journey home. { read more }
