the next few entries i will be sharing what i have learned from the plum village tradition's retreat =)
the essence of this style of practice - learning to enjoy ur practice =)
its about dwelling peacefully n happily in the present, learning to use the breath to bring ourselves back to life in the present moment, smiling n at ease...
i shall list 2 helpful techniques here, which actualli been sorta covered in my last entry haha
1. conscious breathing - this is probably the primary technique to help us (as is common with many other schools =))
we may like to recite
breathing in i know that i am breathing in
breathing out i know that i am breathing out
conscious breathing is the key to bringing our body n mind together and the energy to substain mindfulness from moment to moment...
2. use of gatha - there is plenty use of the gathas to help remind us to return to the present moment, here's one nice one
breathing in, i calm my body
breathing out i smile
dwelling in the present moment
i know this is a wonderful moment
these are deceptively simple techniques but trememdously effective means to enhance n enrich our spiritual practice, enjoy! =D
