"Hope will never be silent." — Harvey Milk, activist and politician Survival Tactic for the Day: If you've been holding your breath around someone who makes you shrink — and you know who they are — exhale the moment you leave the room. Audibly. Let your lungs hear themselves. You don't owe quiet to anyone who costs you air https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia

The wheel has turned past the equinox and leans now toward Beltane, toward the fire-month, though we aren't there yet. We are in the thick of the quickening — tha an talamh a' dùsgadh, the earth is waking — and she is not waking gently. Pollen coats every surface like a yellow confession, the land saying: I've held this in all winter and I am done being careful about it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

From the department of strange-shit-happening-to-my-tinnitus.... I was in a day-long virtual Zen meditation retreat yesterday. During walking meditation between sitting periods yesterday morning, I experienced roughly 15 minutes without tinnitus. (The breaks between sitting rounds last 15 minutes.) I don't know why it went away. My tinnitus does not go away just like that, on its own. The last time I experienced life without tinnitus (briefly) was when I consumed kava. I hypothesized that maybe it was the headphones that I had used to listen to a dharma talk just before the walking break, but there was another later dharma talk, and it did not happen again. Has anyone experienced their tinnitus leaving like this during meditation? #Zen #meditation #tinnitus

To calm our emotions, we pause judgments, step back inwardly from the situation that triggered them, and observe what’s happening. Calmar nuestro ánimo, detenemos los juicios, alejamos interiormente de la situación que los provoca y observar lo que nos ocurre. #cafhglobal.com #cafh.org #meditation #introspection #spirituality #silence #discernment Image by Haziq Farooqi from Pixabay

Ein kleines OBE-Experiment für die nächste Nacht Ich bin auf Reddit auf eine erstaunlich einfache OBE-Methode gestoßen, die ich ausprobieren möchte - vielleicht hat ja jemand Lust, mitzumachen. Die sogenannte Head-Lift-Methode nutzt genau den Moment zwischen Schlaf und Wachsein: Wenn du nachts oder morgens kurz aufwachst, bleib möglichst liegen, Augen geschlossen, und werde nicht vollständig wach. Dann lass dich wieder Richtung Schlaf sinken. Kurz bevor du wegdämmerst, versuchst du, deinen Kopf extrem langsam vom Kissen anzuheben. Der entscheidende Punkt: Spürst du deutlich das Gewicht deines Kopfes oder deine Nackenmuskeln, stoppst du. Entspannen, weiter Richtung Schlaf sinken und später erneut versuchen. Interessant wird es, wenn sich die Bewegung plötzlich ungewöhnlich leicht oder gewichtslos anfühlt. Dann einfach weitermachen und möglichst nicht anfangen, darüber nachzudenken. Also: Aufwachen - nicht bewegen - wieder wegdämmern - Head Lift - ggf. wiederholen. Keine komplizierte Vorbereitung, keine stundenlange Meditation und angeblich auch keine Vibrationen notwendig. Ich werde das die nächsten Nächte testen. Wer macht mit? 🙂 #OBE #OutOfBodyExperience #AstralProjection #Bewusstsein #Consciousness #Meditation #LucidDreaming

THE RIVER (1996) Oil on Canvas - 48” x 36” In my personal work, the red glass heart evokes the world of the senses and things that appeal to those senses. That’s material possessions for some or pleasure seeking and gratification for others. 1/3 #personalvisions #imaginativerealism #meditation

People with whom we relate are always evaluating us—just as we’re also evaluating them—and they see in us aspects that we didn’t think we had, or admit having. Quienes se relacionan con nosotros siempre nos están evaluando —mientras nosotros también los evaluamos— y ven en nosotros aspectos que no esperábamos o no admitíamos tener. #cafhglobal.com #cafh.org #meditation #introspection #spirituality #silence #discernment Image by Silviu on the street from Pixabay

Jigme Lingpa’s Yönten Dzöd: Part I https://courses.yangtiyoga.com/courses/y%C3%B6nten-dz%C3%B6d-part1-2026 #buddhism #buddhist #vajrayana #dzogchen #atiyoga #meditation #TibetanBuddhism "We are very happy to host a series of teachings by His Eminence Chung Tulku Rinpoche on Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa’s Yönten Dzöd, or Treasury of Precious Qualities. In this text, Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798) presents a progressive vision of the Buddhist path in accordance with the general view according to the Nyingma tradition. Over the course of thirteen chapters, Jigme Lingpa brings us from Sutra to Tantra to Dzogchen in a way that is clear, pithy and essential. This text provides a helpful grounding in both Sutra and Tantra including training in the importance of ethics and cultivating Bodhichitta - two very important aspects of the path that allow practitioners of higher teachings to properly hold the container of their experiences in a way that brings actual benefit for other beings in a skillful way. "

If we have the habit of complaining, we can always find something to complain about; anything can be a reason for complaining. Let's be grateful, instead. El hábito de quejarse no necesita muchos motivos para quejas, cualquier cosa puede dar lugar a quejarse. Que seamos agradecidos en vez de quejarnos. #cafhglobal.com #cafh.org #meditation #introspection #spirituality #silence #discernment Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash

Dialogue helps us not create bad moments or conflicts by what we express when we talk, as would happen if we complained, argued, or criticized.
