Awake: What is Meditation?

Awake: What is Meditation?:

samsaranmusing:

Yogic meditation is a technique for reining in the inner voice and obtaining a state known as mindfulness. First described nearly 3000 years ago it is practiced by Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists and anybody else who seeks a quiet mind. The first stage, and by far the most difficult, is mindful concentration. In this practice we seek to quiet the inner voice by focusing our attention on one thing to the exclusion of all others. Usually this is practiced in conjunction with yogic breathing.

First sit in a comfortable position away from distractions. Sit with your back straight. Breathe slowly though your nose, hold for a second, then breathe out. Focus your attention on the breathing. Still your inner talking. Do not be frustrated if this is difficult at first. Be patient. If your mind wanders to other thoughts, and it will, our conscious mind is like a willful child, just gently, without frustration, move the mind back to the breathing. Do not worry about a goal of ten minutes or twenty minutes or whatever. Do this only for so long as you feel comfortable.

nerdyninjanicole:

Even though she grew up playing football, shooting hoops and running races against all the boys in her neighborhood, U.S. 800-meter champion Alysia Montano never wanted to be thought of as one of them.

As a result, she started wearing a flower behind her right ear to remind the boys they were getting beat by a girl.

“The flower to me means strength with femininity. I think that a lot of people say things like you run like a girl. That doesn’t mean you have to run soft or you have to run dainty. It means that you’re strong.”

this is a day of useless personal posts

Sat, 18 May 2013 14:44:41 -0400

I wish I wasn’t so irrationally afraid of joining sports teams at my uni

like, I was so determined to join the womens rugby team last fall and I totally pansied out

and I would really love to join a womens football team or a soccer team but I guess I’m afraid of being judged since I haven’t played a sport on a team since elementary school

all the sighs

getting-fit-staying-fab:

So I’ve seen (and taken part) in lots of posts that say ‘reblog this if you don’t like one or more things about your body’ I decided to make my own experiment.

Reblog this if you LIKE one or more things about your body, let’s see more body positive posts on tumblr!

part of me wants to transition to a mostly vegetarian/vegan diet because eating an actually plant based diet appeals to me

plus preparing meat takes time and effort and preparing veggies is always easy

I think adjusting to that kind of lifestyle might be difficult for me because I think I would have a difficult time developing a diet that suits my needs as an individual who regularly strength trains and one that I actually enjoy 24/7

just thinking out loud, I suppose.
