- The highest form of energy
An idea about energy is entirely different from the fact of energy itself. We have
formulas or concepts of how to bring about a quality of energy that is of the highest
quality. But the formula is entirely different from the renovating, renewing quality of
energy itself.
...The highest form of this energy, the apogee, is the state of mind when it has no idea, no
thought, no sense of a direction or motive—that is pure energy. And that quality of
energy cannot be sought after. You can’t say, “Well, tell me how to get it, the modus
operandi, the way.” There is no way to it. To find out for ourselves the nature of this
energy, we must begin to understand the daily energy that is wasted—the energy when
we talk, when we hear a bird, a voice, when we see the river, the vast sky and the
villagers, dirty, ill kept, ill, half-starved, and the tree that withdraws of an evening from
all the light of day. The very observation of everything is energy. And this energy we
derive through food, through the sun’s rays. This physical, daily energy that one has,
obviously can be augmented, increased, by the right kind of food and so on. That is
necessary, obviously. But that same energy which becomes the energy of the psyche—
that is, thought—the moment that energy has any contradiction in itself, that energy is a
waste of energy...J KrishnamurtiThe highest form of energy An idea about energy is entirely different from the fact of energy itself.

It brings our awareness to possibility, hope, and even creativity. When we begin, anything is possible. The shape of something new is limitless. Every morning we have the opportunity to see the day this way. We can choose to see the hope of beginning and allow our creativity to shape the day we desire. When we choose creativity over comfort, our day becomes brighter and more exciting. How can you be creative today?daily #meditation...in the beginning of something new, we feel excitement.

- daily $meditation...there is a treasure trove of joy to be found in each day. Today is a puzzle and the clues for happiness are all around. Look for the good in each interaction and place you encounter. Redirect your thoughts when you feel yourself drawn to negativity. If we search for the positive, our minds are calibrated to find it. Be open to discovery, like an explorer on an open sea. The excitement of searching is half the fun...daily $meditation...there is a treasure trove of joy to be found in each day.

- daily #meditation...slow down. Don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of glorifying busy-ness. Life is intended to be savored and this moment is the most important. Move through your day consciously. Notice the little things and expand your awareness. Flowers bloom for only a season; children grow up fast; and the leaves change and eventually fall. Savor what's in front of you and appreciate the moment you are in...daily #meditation...slow down. Don't allow yourself to fall into the trap of glorifying busy-ness.

- daily #meditatin...in the total attention of meditation, there is no knowing, no recognition, nor the remembrance of something that has happened. Time and thought have entirely come to an end, for they are the center which limits its own vision. At the moment of light, thought withers away, and the conscious effort to experience and the remembrance of it, is the word that has been. And the word is never the actual. At the moment - which is not of time - the ultimate is the immediate, but that ultimate has no symbol, is of no person, of no god...Kdaily #meditatin...in the total attention of meditation, there is no knowing, no recognition, nor the remembrance of something that has happened.

- daily #meditation - what is #passion? It is not a thing you can buy in the market or talk about romantically. It has nothing whatever to do with emotion, feeling. It is not a respectable thing. It is a flame that destroys anything that is false. And we are always so afraid to allow that flame to devour the things that we hold dear, the things that we call important.daily #meditation - what is #passion?

- daily #meditatioin - our friendships are soulful gifts to be cherished. Each of us has a soul, and when we feel connection it's an indicator that our souls have found someone else's soul friendly. Not everyone connects, and that is okay. Friendship is supposed to feel connected, joyful, and supportive. If you are craving more soulful connections, be what you want to attract, and you will find likeminded souls. When you do find a connection, nurture it with care.daily #meditatioin - our friendships are soulful gifts to be cherished.

- daily #meditation - allow yourself the space each day to find wonder in the ordinary. We are likely to go through our days on autopilot and forget to notice what's around. Sometimes we even forget to breathe. Take time to do your activities mindfully. Notice what your senses take in as you do the activity. Take your time and go from mindless to mindful. Then see if you can find some wonder in the task. When we look for wonder, it's amazing how it reveals itself.daily #meditation - allow yourself the space each day to find wonder in the ordinary.

- daily #meditation - if you want change to occur, you must do something about it. Like a caterpillar goes through the process of creating a cocoon, you too can do the hard work to create the transformation you desire. Success doesn't happen overnight, a process is required. Do something every day that serves your desired result. Each stride will change you just a little and prepare you for what's next. Eventually you will emerge like a caterpillar from the chrysalis, transformed and more vibrant.daily #meditation - if you want change to occur, you must do something about it.

- Daily #meditatioin - when you find yourself disappointed, try to find something to be grateful for. Life is full of opportunities to reframe negative emotions, and the more we practice finding the positive, the easier it will be to do this. We can train our minds to be more positive because our minds are malleable. Don't allow yourself to become stuck in a whirlwind of disappointment. Pull yourself out of the spiral of negativity by finding the good in each situation.Daily #meditatioin - when you find yourself disappointed, try to find something to be grateful for.
