| Invitation to Mindfulness Retreat Camp | | 2008-06-12 11:14:36 | | Venue: Amberstone Eco Resort, Ulu Yam SelangorDate: Fri 4 July 08 (meet at Clove&Clive 7am) - Sun 6 July 08 (departing 2pm) Learning to understand ourselves is an intricate and tricky process. The work of understanding comes from our willingness to look within through the eyes of awareness, of mindfulness.Retreat is for that purpose. A retreat is a safe environment where we are being given the space to work with ourselves fully, in total silence, as we watch with awe our relationship with ourselves, and the world. A retreat is precious and sacred as it is the best gift you could offer to yourself in the pursuit of self-happiness and peace through understanding and realisation.We would like to invite those of you who are keen to check in for the weekend--to seek solitude, find peace and discover inner exploration away from the din of your busy life--to join us in our mindfulness retreat camp, this time at Amberstone Eco Resort in Ulu Yam, Selangor this 4 to 6 July.We have found Ambe | | By: Spiritual Village | | |
| | Mindfulness: The path to the Deathless - Inner Vigilance | | 2008-05-19 20:07:51 | | By Ven. Ajahn SumedhoIn Dailymirror.Ik - Sri Lanka Breaking News Now, as for the practice of mindfulness. Concentration is when you draw your attention to an object, sustain your attention on that one point (such as the tranquillising rhythm of normal breathing), until you become that sign itself and the sense of subject and object diminishes.Mindfulness, with vipassana meditation, is the opening of the mind. You no longer concentrate on just one point, but you observe insightfully and reflect on the conditions that come and go and on the silence of the empty mind. This involves letting go of an object; you're not holding on to a particular object, but observing that whatever arises passes away. This is insight meditation, or 'vipassana'.With what I call 'inner listening', you can hear the noises that go on in the mind, the desire, the fears, things that you've repressed and have never allowed yourself to be fully conscious of. But now, even if there are obsessive thoughts or fears, em | | By: Spiritual Village | | |
| | Finding Peace Within - Weekend Workshop on Mindfulness Meditation in Malaysia | | 2008-05-05 12:31:35 | | I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace. – Helen Keller PEACE is forever elusive, if not short-lived. Peace is what most of us are looking for behind the facade of our pursuit for fame, wealth and happiness. And when we finally arrive at the doorstep, instead of finding peace, we are met with dissatisfaction and unfulfilment.The question foremost in most of our minds is, where is peace? Can peace be bartered? Is peace reachable? Could peace be found within every one of us, where we are just required to recognise its presence, instead of pursuing it externally?An ancient art of self-awareness, Mindfulness Meditation is a simple yet profoundly transformative tool in bringing one to understand his or her mind deeply, ultimately leading to self-realisation and freedom.Stripping off all modes of religious beliefs, visualisations, recitations and even concentrated states, this simple technique of inner observation enables one to re | | By: Spiritual Village | | |

| Mindfulness | | 2007-12-17 08:44:00 | | Wikipedia identifies mindfulness as "the practice whereby a person is intentionally aware of his or her thoughts and actions in the present moment, non-judgmentally". Although my faith is based in Jesus Christ, I am thankful that He has given me the gift of openness to explore and implement practices from other faiths. Mindfulness practices started and are more commonly practiced in the Eastern religions. After I read Practice in the Presense of God, I began focusing on the presense of the God of my understanding-- a very personal and present God. In 1976, when I began implementing breathing exercise with meditation practices, I immediately knew that finding my center and focusing on my breath in and breath out enabled calm and peace to flow through my body. Being human, I learned in a moment what has taken a lifetime to implement. Transcendental meditation has been found to decrease heart rate and blood pressure because the mind-body connection prospers when one experiences peace and calm.
