Live Compassionately
~ We often think of peace as the absence of war; that if the powerful countries would reduce their arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds – our prejudices, fears, and ignorance. Even if we transported all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the reasons for bombs would still be here, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we would make new bombs. Seek to become more aware of what causes anger and separation, and what overcomes them. Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Practice for Connection, Cherishing and Love
The Dalai Lama
The Practice:
1. Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering
we all want the same things (to be happy and be loved)
and we are all connected to one another.
2. Spend 5 minutes breathing in, cherishing yourself; and, breathing out
cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing,
extend your cherishing to them anyway.
3. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet.
Practice cherishing the “simplest” person (clerks, attendants, etc)
or people you dislike.
4. Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.
These thoughts are very simple, inspiring and helpful.
The practice of cherishing can be taken very deeply if done wordlessly,
allowing yourself to feel the love and appreciation that
already exists in your heart.

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. ~ Max de Pree

~Your thoughts clearly affect the neurological functioning of your body.
~Optimism is essential for maintaining a heathy brain. ~Positive thoughts neurologically suppress negative thoughts.~When you change the way you think, you begin to change your outward circumstances. ~Consciousness, reality, your mind, and your spiritual beliefs are profoundly interconnected and inseparable from the functions of your brain. ~From ‘How God Changes Your Brain’ by Andrew g, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us a universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest…a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few person nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by windening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ~Albert Einstein

Not only do prayer and spiritual practice reduce stress and anxiety, but just twelve minutes of meditation per day may slow down the aging process. Contemplating a loving God rather than a punitive God reduces anxiety, depression, stress and increases feelings of security, compassion and love. Intense prayer and meditation permanently change numerous structures and function in the brain — altering your values and the way you percieve reality . ‘How God changes Your Brain’ by Andrew Newberg, M.D and Mark Robert Waldman.
