Even though I do not understand, the sound is so soothing and melodic. I find it more soothing than listening to the Heart Sutra recited in Chinese.Richard Harroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943119066949899198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998998547000813414.post-75526125500646383362011-04-13T19:57:32.398-07:002011-04-13T19:57:32.398-07:00Thanks for the round-up here Richard. I'd add ...Thanks for the round-up here Richard. I'd add that I prefer listening to chants in English. I just find more of a connection to the context and content that way. Though chanting daimoku is a practice that I still enjoy from time to time, when listening I just prefer English.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688546442746669587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998998547000813414.post-26402911101129142362011-04-11T14:50:39.524-07:002011-04-11T14:50:39.524-07:00Would that be pronounced "Whore-va"?

My mindfulness when biking is to be on the look out for stupid walkers and crazy-assed super cyclists! Helps me from being too distracted from the all-too-frequent eye candy, lol.Richard Harroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943119066949899198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998998547000813414.post-25693138684659533752011-04-11T12:56:16.689-07:002011-04-11T12:56:16.689-07:00nice post as usual. i didn't see your tweets o...nice post as usual. i didn't see your tweets on this, so i'll chime in here.<br />my practice is fluid and i go with what feels needed. sometimes it's structured sometimes not. i used to have a random mindfulness bell program on my work computer that would fire off at different times during the day and i would stop and take 3 mindful breaths.<br />sometimes meditation is focused and structured zazen but a lot of times it's mindful driving, lawn mowing, jogging, showering, photography, etc. mindfulness is a muscle and meditation is the gym. i try to make my workouts infuse my daily life so that i'm getting worked out constantly like when i wear my sketchers shape up shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
