  • I feel myself immersed again in the world that actually gave birth to my body, the world that will receive my body back into itself when I die.
  • The world to which my mind and senses have the possibility of a direct relationship in real time.
  • I will need to give less attention to the menu of daily distractions that keep me from my real work, and to the open-pit mine that masquerades as daily “news”.

      SAVIKALPA SAMADHI: the highest of spiritual state of consciousness.  This conceptt of being conscious relates to Hanh's method of being present in the moment. Both of these concept explains that the perceptive of time and space is different but after several hours of practicing this method, the mind is in another world. Even though you are awake, and are completely aware of the present moment, you are able to have experience that is blissful and memorable.
  • Stepping outside of your own world (literally or figuratively) can lead to this sense of thankfulness and oneness, an emotional surge of compassion for just about everything.
  • once I saw the world as interconnected and people as more alike than I realized, it was impossible to ‘unsee’ it.

  • she travels because she loves to learn and see and eat and understand, slowly moving from place to place in an attempt to get a feel for its people and its spirit, not just its sights.
  • he most important benefit to travel for me has been the consistent reminder that we are all connected in one way or another, and we are all more alike than we think.
  • It’s both a state of thankfulness
  • nd a state of openness (learning from and appreciating that connectedness).
  • travel does tend to push people to think about the forest through the trees and to constantly pin current observations against past experiences.
  • I wrote about how part of what I sought from my travels was a desire to still the whirring in my mind,
  • to seek a form of mindfulness
  • Savikalpa samadhi, the highest of spiritual states of consciousness
  • In this state the conception of time and space is altogether different. For an hour or two hours you are completely in another world.”
  • The body is in a trancelike state, but the consciousness is fully perceptive of its blissful experience within”

      When a person is allow to travel, they discovered that it is not only used as a stress reliver but more of a learning experience. By being mindful in your travels, the person is allowed to live in the present moment, and learn that the world is indeed connected.

      The thought of brining mindfulness into anything you do is both amusing and insightful. Instead of trying to adhere to a routine of mindfulness, you can find time to be mindful in your daily tasks.
  • and make it an exercise in mindfulness by really focusing on the sound and vibration of each note
  • Mindfulness Exercise #3: Listening to Music Listening to music has many benefits — so many, in fact, that music is being used therapeutically in a new branch of complimentary medicine known as music therapy. That’s part of why listening to music makes a great mindfulness exercise. You can play soothing new-age music, classical music, or another type of slow-tempo music to feel calming effects, and make it an exercise in mindfulness by really focusing on the sound and vibration of each note, the feelings that the music brings up within you, and other sensations that are happening "right now" as you listen. If other thoughts creep into your head, congratulate yourself for noticing, and gently bring your attention back to the current moment and the music you are hearing.
