  7. “Three-Legged Stool” Body Alert, erect Relaxed Breath: connects the soul to Higher Consciousness Mind Resists stillness Natural state is peace Ego wants us to think

  8. “Four-Legged Stool” Body Breath Mind Non-Judgment

  9. Non-Judgment One of the keys to happiness is to stop the habit of self-judgment and self-hatred. When we stop judging ourselves we will stop judging others. Where there is no judgment, there is peace.

  10. We go into meditation with a commitment That the body will remain still That the breath will be calm That the mind will be at peace, in spite of its habits THAT WE WILL NOT JUDGE OURSELVES…NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

  11. Two Sides to the Story Both sides of the brain are always active. The left brain is the language and analysis side. The right brain in the side of art and feeling…of euphoria and bliss. “Close the language door, Open the love window…” ~Rumi

  12. Peace and the Mind The clear sky is always there. Clouds come and cover the sky. But wind can blow them away. Clear sky remains. Clear mind, the mind at peace, is always present. Thoughts come and obscure the peace of clear mind. Mindfulness practice can blow the thoughts away, gently, with ease, and without judgment. Peace remains.

  13. The Key to Happiness To still the language side of the brain so that the right brain can be heard and felt. A mind at peace, filled with joy, is our natural state.
