Wake up this morning and awaken to your thoughts

GOOD MORNING, WAKE UP AND AWAKEN TO YOUR THOUGHTS.

With the busy-ness of the season and the changeability of the weather - our bodies react and our minds respond. Take a moment to feel your body; to become aware of the feeling tones and emotions. Then take some time to sit and watch. Watch the movement of your mind as you note the feelings in your body. Not to judge, but to know. Then, be kind, accept and go on.  

Know Your Mind

“As long as we exist, our mind is an inseparable part of us. As a result, we are always up and down. It is not our body that goes up and down, it's our mind—this mind whose way of functioning we do not understand—not just our body, but our mind. Therefore, sometimes we have to examine ourselves—not just our body, but our mind. After all, it is our mind that is always telling us what to do. We have to know our own psychology, or, in religious terminology, perhaps, our inner nature. Anyway, no matter what we call it, we have to know our own mind.”

- Lama Yeshe, "Your Mind is Your Religion"
