It Only Takes a Moment

Change your focus of attention, change your thinking, change your mind and change your life. It only takes a moment. This moment is a good one.

~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

When we start to meditate, we become aware of the many useless thoughts that pass through the mind. As we continue our practice, we learn to let them fall away and encourage those that are supportive. As our meditation deepens, we take the innate inner peacefulness from our time of meditation and watch it permeate our day. Whatever attitude we bring to life, we will experience in the world. As we come to quickly recognize the arising of fear, anger, grasping or aversion, we can let it fall away before it dominates our thinking. This leads to real freedom. It only takes a moment.
