Droplet of Wisdom 6

In this droplet a true story is told. The mind is a great asset when used thoughtfully, and when it isn't its sometimes really good for someone close to tell us a hurtful truth. Pain can often be not only physical, but transcend to our psychy. This short anecdote may prove useful to those of us who want to substitute positivity for pain.

A really meaningful droplet for me, told in such a lovely way! Thank you.

This meditation is helping me to be curious about the messages in my brain, the messages I tell myself, and how my expressions affect those around me. Perhaps I have more agency than I think I do. Thank you for sharing your experience.

You know, I have heard this before yet the first thing I did this morning was to rummage through in my head what I had to do too say instead of greeting myself “ Good morning, it’s going to be a great day!” “ I am excited to see what happens today, who I meet and what I learn!” I’ve decided this is what I’m going to start saying to myself every morning. Thank you for the reminder that what we think does make difference.

Wisdom indeed. Thank you. It seems so easy to get into these loops of negativity and hoping that something from the outside will just make it all better and make it go away. I'm hoping that some sort of blanket will come down from God, come over me and take all the pain away. Both psychic and bodily. But that never seems to be the case. I wish I could be better at disciplining my mind. To learn new tricks on how to be in the world more comfortably. It seems like the bad patterns are grooved into my brain, like concrete tunnels or roadways. I would love to know the trick to always looking on the bright side, without even having to think about it.

Thank you for this very helpful meditation Graham, namaste 🙏🏾☀️
