#buddhist practices

I love Buddhist practice because it helps me to deal with the noise. It gives me something to focus with when surrounding people and goings on are too intrusive. To know that hundreds of millions of others throughout the world also use the same Buddhist techniques to manage their lives brings comfort.

is denying people a belief practice so as to create a containment that subjects a biology to a hostile takeover a worthwhile development?

can those developing such a system be said to be creative or encouraging within the networks of communal living?

The thing about getting your exercise regimen completed by 9:30 a.m. is that it’s very possible to complete a second, full workout by day’s end, just by going about your business.

My business over the weekend was to apply myself to getting the gardens, all our gardens, in decent shape.  I’m slowly getting there and have checked a lot of tasks off the list, but still occasionally feel overwhelmed by what’s left to do. So parts of both Saturday and Sunday were spent hauling around bags of soil and peat moss, carrying heavy pots to and fro, squatting and reaching to counter-attack the army of weeds already besieging us, etc.  If I hadn’t gotten my walk and yoga practice in so early, I would have blown them off after doing all that gardening.  Instead, I ended up getting twice the workout I’m accustomed to.

When this morning rolled around, I was aching all over and dragging my ass.  At 7 a.m., when I was supposed to leave for my walk, it looked like rain.  I almost caved into the temptation to skip my walk--until I thought about this blog and my past failures.  After doing a half-hour yoga practice, I pushed myself out the door.  I tackled a couple of steep hills, pounded the pavement for a good hour, and came home dripping with sweat.  I can’t say that I now feel ready to tackle the world, but I definitely feel the slightly intoxicating rush of having wrestling with some personal demons and come out on top.

Yesterday I stuck to my other resolves, i.e., stayed away from mental junk food and ate really clean.  As I’ve discovered in the past, a few weeks into consistent, truly clean eating, my appetite decreases (because I’m better nourished) and I’m able to practice better portion control.  I don’t think I’ve ever been so aware of how real the snowball effect is when it comes to healthy living:  clean up one aspect of your life and you’ll get the urge to clean up others.  The beautiful bottom line is that the healthier I become, the healthier I want to be.
