So Jaden3 reminded me of this video I used to show in class, during mindfulness mondays.
After we viewed it we talked about how many times it happens to them, and kids opened up. We brainstormed and gave options on how to go about it if this was coming from parents. I said that parents also want to be heard so it really is a two way street. Some students told me that they showed it to their parents 🙂.
Check it out.✨Listen.

In Zen practice, a “critical phrase” like *Who am I?* or *What is the mind?* isn’t meant to be answered. It’s meant to pierce through illusion. Let the question burn through distraction, until only boundless awareness remains. 🔥🧘 #Koan #ZenMeditation #WhoAmI #DirectExperience #Awareness

Act Out ~ Speak Up!

These designs are a call to courage, creativity, and change. It's about using your voice, your actions, and your vision to stand up for what matters. When we act with intention and speak with passion, we have the power to spark movements and make a difference.

Discipline, by King Crimson (1981).

I was introduced to this by a college roommate ~1982/1983. It completely changed my perception of music (and other things).

A post inspired by my daughter sending me a spotify link to some milktoast "progressive" rock she's listening to. I feel sick. 🤢

This links to the whole album.

Dhyana is not about doing nothing—it's about doing *one thing* with full presence. In Zen, focus is the gateway. When your attention flows without distraction, the mind becomes steady, clear, and deeply awake. 🧘‍♂️🌀 #ZenMeditation #Dhyana #Focus #Presence #zen #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #ZenMind #Meditation #Awareness youtube.com/shorts/trQKFM7EBg0
