A Rite

Whether it is early morning, or late at night, whether it’s warm or cold, sunshiny or gray where you are, well-done you, bringing yourself to this moment of centering. This space where you turn in.
Welcome to a Hit of Hope. What are some things that you do every single day? You might have to really think about that question, because many times these habits are mindless, meaning you might not even notice you are doing them. But Annie Dillard once said, “How we spend our days is,

I'll do better🌺

Thank you 🙏 I so enjoyed that 💜

I'm sending love around the globe to the whole Insight Timer Community and beyond.
Thank you very much for another beautiful Hit of Hope!

Thank you for the positive reminder. Gratitude came to mind for me.

I don't have the luxury of autopilot. I have to think about things that the vast majority of people don't even realise that they're doing and take for granted. I have to really concentrate on doing the very basics of living. It's pretty exhausting. But it teaches you how lucky you are to be able to do any freaking thing at all and my god, I really, really, REALLY appreciate it when I achieve a small goal. But it also teaches you that true fulfilment comes from thinking way beyond yourself and your own life and helping others (like you do Betsy). That gives immense satisfaction and joy (especially as, in the eyes of a capitalist society that values the wrong things, I'm a bit of a waste of space). It shows you who you really are and why you're here, a rite of intensification indeed. Namaste Betsy. 🙏🌟

First: Chewing Gum was my 1000th meditation on Insight Timer (Huzzah)! So yes, I meditate every day. I do it mainly for myself (but my husband and cats benefit from me not not being as irritable). I often forget about the intentional community-ness of IT in general, even though I sometimes send Thank You For Meditating With Me messages. Sometimes I read other people’s reviews and I learn from those different points of view. Hmm, still about me, isn’t it? A few times I’ve written in reviews to Betsy’s teachings that she’s created a mini-sangha, folks cheering each other on, for example. So here we are, Community Rites right here. Namaste.

Loved this message. 🙏🏻

Wow! I will edit this review and clarify later, but, right now, I'm speechless. Thank you.
