A Quiet Mind

This podcast talks about the perennial wisdom and how it remains free to everyone.

In this podcast I take a look at the big questions yet again. Who am I? What am I? Can I become enlightened? Will I ever be happy, whole and complete? How do I get rind of discontent, desire and confusion. It’s easy really, just lose yourself.

In this episode of A Quiet Mind I will be smashing some paradigms of spirituality, enlightenment and do-goodery. Talking about enlightenment and zen.

A guided meditation using the sounds of nature to calm the mind with the birds and trees helping.

Life is difficult. There is pain and suffering and at times there is a deep misery or depression beyond our control. Sometimes we fail and sometimes the world just kicks our ass.

It’s ok to fail, forget, blow it, lose it and fall. To move forward we must allow ourselves to look the fool, to trip up and make mistakes. The saying goes, fall six times and get up seven but no one tells you how long you can stay down. I say, stay down as long as you need to and you’ll know when to get back up.

Don’t worry so much.Just relax.You’re only doing the best you can.Fully embrace every aspect of who you are right now.Rest in being here right now.

Once upon a time there was a thought, and the thought was, “a quiet mind is all you need.” A quiet mind is all anyone needs to feel happy, peaceful, whole and complete. If your mind just stops and becomes still, what remains? It’s simple really and anyone can see this. What remains is quiet and quiet by its very nature is peaceful and peace is nice. Peace feels good, it feels serene, and who doesn’t like serene?
