Namaste,
So I am focusing a lot of mindfulness lately. I have been watching the breath and sometimes I will use thich nhat hanh's(Vietnamese Zen monk) phrases but will manipulate them a bit for an example:
Thich nhat hanh gives a practice of
Breathing in I know that I am breathing in
Breathing out I know that I am breathing out
Breathing in my body is calm
Breathing out I smile
(Breathing in) dwelling in the present moment
I know that this is a wonderful moment.
So he recommends these Gathas which are very helpful to me in maintaining mindfulness.
But I will say
Breathing in I know that I am breathing in
Breathing out I know that I am breathing out
Breathing in Siva calms my body
Breathing out Siva smiles within me
Dwelling with Siva in this moment
I know this is a wonderful moment.
Anyways, would any of my dharma brothers and sisters have any other suggestions in staying present with Lord Siva and mindful of Lord Siva?
with love
