MEDITATION AT UNITY
At Unity we advocate developing a strong and regular spiritual practice to balance your spiritual life with everyday working commitments during the week. One of these practices is meditation. Meditation is a helpful skill and enduring way to align and balance yourself in preparation for the demands & stresses of daily commitments. It can also help in your efforts to be present for your family. This practical spiritual tool can help alieviate anxiety and bring peace, self knowledge and acceptance to you in all stages of your life.
Every Sunday at Unity of Boulder we offer a 9am MST Meditation & Satsang–a group contemplative meditation featuring Live Tibetan Singing Bowls performed by Norma Groverland and a spiritual message and guided meditation given by Jack Groverland.
This Week Jack’s Spiritual Message is Titled: “Mindfulness”
From Eckhart Tolle’s book, “The Power of Now” pg.13, we have this quote relating the cause of human confusion and conflict:
“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.”
This fact clearly relates the human dilemma, which prevents people from living in harmony with the ever-changing conditions of life. From the beginning of one’s birth into our world he/she begin to evaluate the quality of the circumstances that arise in his/her experiences. Out of this evaluation the idea of being a personal body mind with its likes and dislikes, desires and dreams creates one’s ego perception and personality. This mind developed seperate self perception is the error that causes conflict with all the seeming other separate selves and conditions.
The only way to establish a life of continuous wellbeing and peace of mind is to learn to flow with and not resist inwardly the ever-changing conditions of life. True, you may decide to eliminate some injustice or evil that you perceive, but never with a feeling of vengeance – always with a peaceful attitude and intuition guided by Divine Introspection. Practice often checking within yourself to catch and release any inner resistance to what is happening now.
This Sunday at Unity of Boulder’s 9am Meditation & Satsang, we will explore the life-healing practice of Mindfulness.
