I love waking up before the sun. Lights off Complete quiet. Enveloped in darkness. Wishing in gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Kinda like a wake n bake but with #metta instead of weed. This metta jhana stuff is the SHIT man! #BeHappy

Saturday evening here. Perfectly quiet. Immersing myself in the quiet. Staying in tonight. Quiet, quiet, mindfully quiet. Shhhh Just the subtle breath. And the wish: May be happy and peaceful. #metta #jhana #vipassana #mindfulness #meditation

First thing in the morning, setting the intention for the day. May I be kind, patient, open hearted. Wishing you all well. May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free! #metta #jhana #vipassana #mindfulness #meditation

Deep breath, slow exhale, 3 times, let it all go. Relax, relax, relax. Everything is exactly as it is. #BeHappy #ItsAPractice

Noticing you are lost in thought and bringing your mind back to the present moment - noticing body sensations. Noticing whatever is being experienced right now. It's not difficult to do; it's difficult to REMEMBER to do it. Over and over all day. #BeHappy #BeMindful #ItsAPractice #metta

Face whatever needs to be faced

May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free. Pain is inescapable, but suffering is a choice. #ItsAPractice #meditation #Buddhisim #mindfulness #vipassana #jhana

Just got an email from someone asking about equanimity vs anger and shouldn't we be angry about the fascism? If we aren't angry will we be passive? Can we fight fascism with a smile on our face and love in our hearts? You bet we can!! #BeHappy #itsapractice #metta
