Yesterday I was with family at the port of Hook of Holland, were you can see our industry and a beautiful skyline of Rotterdam, our main port. It was a wonderful sunny day at the beach, very agreeable. I think the last sunny day since the weather forecast is predicting colder weather. But I like October with its crackling dead leaves under the trees and its beautiful colors. Prompt: “It has taken me quite a few years to realize the fact that most of the thoughts in my head are not necessary.” ― Bert McCoy. My question is, how can anyone chase away those unnecessary thoughts? Do you have any ideas?(BC) When I was in college I came across Zen meditation, where we practiced Zazen, sitting in Zen. A meditation form where you sit on a cushion, focus on a point ahead and focus on your breathing in and out, and counting. Every time you think something, you stop counting and start anew, still breathing in and out. It is an exercise to let all thoughts pass you by without going into the thoughts. So your mind is blank, you are one with your breathing. It is very difficult at first, but if you practice you notice you can shut out your thoughts in a way. Day SEVENTY NINE "Give It 100!" |
