PRESENCE OF MIND

ZEN MEDITATION: 9:00pm – 10:00pm, 03.09.2008, Wednesday

It is crucial for you to understand what meditation is. It is not some special posture, and it's not just a set of mental exercises. Meditation is the cultivation of mindfulness and the application of that mindfulness once cultivated. You do not have to sit to meditate. You can meditate while washing the dishes. You can meditate in the shower, or roller skating, or typing letters. Meditation is awareness, and it must be applied to each and every activity of one's life. This isn't easy.

-Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"


If we have...presence of mind then whatever work we do will be the very tool which enables us to know right and wrong continually. There's plenty of time to meditate, we just don't fully understand the practice, that's all. While sleeping we breathe, eating we breathe, don't we? Why don't we have time to meditate? Wherever we are we breathe. If we think like this then our life has as much value as our breath, wherever we are we have time.

-Ajahn Chah, "Taste of Freedom"

Testimonial On Crystal Meditation - Green Aventurine

"I highly recommend attending and benefiting from Tristen Churn’s Crystal Meditation sessions. I have personally experienced and greatly benefited from two divinely blessed sessions with Tristen. Each session brought me such profound insights into deep rooted problems and fears, which have affected my daily life and limited my living out my true potential. I am so grateful for Tristen’s channeling the crystals blessings that have helped me so much in healing and overcoming these often deeply hurtful hurdles. As I have been blessed and helped, this is what I wish for others to experience by attending and participating in a session with Tristen -- whose sessions are also blessed with such compassion, angelic-crystalline light, smiles and laughter, and love for humanity." ~ Jennifer Mourin, Penang ~
