We don’t need to be sat breathing the high mountain air to meditate…

…but sometimes when we’re meditating,
it feels like we are.

“The heart of Buddhist meditation is mindfulness
- the energy that helps us know what’s happening in the present moment.”
Tich Naht Hanh
“You are day-dreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present.
Start tasting the present.”
Osho
“This now is it. This.
Your deepest need and desire is satisfied by the moment’s energy here in your hand.“
Rumi
“Peace can exist only in the present moment.
If you truly want to be at peace, you must be at peace right now.“
Tich Naht Hanh
“Mindfulness is the life force of meditation”

We don’t need it, but it surely opens doors…

I do like meditating in the sunshine. And you’re right, it is a different experience.
Haven’t tried it on a mountain yet. But I used to sit on the roof of my parents’ house, leaning against the chimney stack. They live on a hill, and the height definitely gave another aspect to contemplations.

Very nice, this meditation series your’re doing is a real treat. But the main image on this one is taking a very long time to load. Could you reduce the resolution or something? Thnx. x
Jan 15, 2013 @ 18:38:34
Oh gosh, so it is. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll try and reduce the file size :s
Jan 16, 2013 @ 10:27:10
hmmm, resolution n file size reduced but it hasn’t helped much for viewing the image itself. I’ll add the texts at the bottom.

Wicked! The included text is a advantage, thnx.

I was working on the HTML for this post, when Sengai calls round. “That’s a precarious place to meditate.”
“yeah, but it’s good for death meditations ;~)
