Notice in Zenquillity how we feel when we receive love. As we experience ourself in the centre of a circle, all kinds of different emotions may arise. we may feel gratitude and awe, or we might feel kind of shy, like we would rather duck down and have all of these beings send loving kindness to one another and forget about us. Whatever emotion may arise, we just let it wash through us. our touchstone is those phrases—May I be happy. May I be peaceful… or whatever phrases you’ve chosen.

2019 lightening and Throwing Back Kindfulness the most powerful meditation program for change

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 16:59:00 +0000

Imagine that we are encircled by people who love us. Sitting comfortably, eyes open or closed, and imagine ourself in the centre of a circle made up of the most loving beings we’ve met. There may be some people in our circle who we’ve never met but have been inspired by. Maybe they exist now or they’ve existed historically, or even mythically.Got it.

Zenquillity Loving-kindfulness is done in the easiest way possible so that the experience springs forth most gently, most naturally.

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 10:13:00 +0000

Zenquillity Loving-kindfulness is done in the easiest way possible so that the experience springs forth most gently, most naturally. To do it in the most easiest way possible means first to use phrases that are personally meaningful. The traditional phrases as are taught, at least this one classical translation of them, begins with oneself:

May I be free from danger, may I know safety. Danger in that sense is both inner danger from the force of certain mind states, and outer danger. So, May I be free from danger. May I have mental happiness. May I have physical happiness. May I have ease of well-being—which means may I not have to struggle terribly, day by day, with livelihood, with family issues.

Let your mind rest in the phrases. You can be aware of the phrases either with the breath or just in themselves—the focus of the attention is the phrases. Let your mind rest within them. The feelings will come and go.

May I be free from danger, may I have mental happiness, but really, you should use any phrases that are powerful for you. They need to be meaningful not just in a very temporary way—May I get to this course okay—but something profound that you would wish for yourself and wish for others. Thoughts are very important in doing loving-kindness—not to struggle to get a certain kind of feeling. Let your mind rest in the phrases. You can be aware of the phrases either with the breath or just in themselves—the focus of the attention is the phrases. Let your mind rest within them. The feelings will come and go.

Sometimes it will feel quite glorious, it will be extraordinary.

Sometimes, many times, it will be very very ordinary, very dry or very mechanical—but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean that nothing is happening or that it’s not working. What’s important is to do it, is to form that intention in the mind because we’re uniting the power of loving-kindfulness and the power of intention and that is what will produce the effect of that free flow of loving-kindfulness.

ZENQUILLITY WORKS taking back the power

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 09:17:00 +0000

Someone does something inconsiderate or infuriating that frustrates or angers us. We fume about it for hours. We've given this person the power to make us frustrated and angry, to ruin our day, often without them even realising it.

We are lonely because we are alone, no longer with the partner who broke up with us. We have given away our power to feel loved to someone else, who perhaps doesn't want to give us that love.

We walk into a social gathering and hope to impress people, to gain their approval, to be liked. we've given away our power of being approved to others, who don't even know they have a responsibility to validate us.
we are still angry at our parents (or one of our parents) for the crappy way they raised us, or for certain things they did that screwed us up. we've given away our power to shape our own life, to people who haven't been responsible for raising us for years, since we became an adult.

In all of these cases, and many more examples throughout our day, we've given away the power to be happy, to be content, to be joyful, to other people, who haven't even asked for that power or realise we've handed it to them.

But actually, the power over these states of mind — approval, love, anger, joy — resides completely inside of us.

This is the hidden source of power that we don't tap into.

Let me give you an example. Let's say you're pining over a lover who has rejected you, and wishing you had those incredible moments back, where they made you feel happy, loved. But actually, the source of that love was inside of you, not outside of you. When you were with your ex-lover, they were there in the room with you, but the source of feeling loved was in your own mind, in your own heart. You made yourself feel that way, by how you perceived the situation.

That means that we have the power to make ourself feel loved. At any time. It's always available to us. It depends on no one else.

You have the power to make ourself feel angry, or at peace. To feel hurt, or joyful. To feel connected, or disconnected. To feel accepted, or rejected.

That's not to say that other people don't do crappy things. But those crappy things don't have to make us feel horrible — we can let them slide off of us, and decide how we want to feel. Sure, that's easier said than done, but it's still a power that resides within us.

That's also not to say we don't need anyone else. Or that we're an island, standing completely on our own. In our view, we are more interconnected than we realise. Choosing to see ourselves as already interconnected, always connected to the emotions of others, is actually a way to tap into our inner power. Turning towards others and seeing their pain and love, not just our own, is a fantastic way to tap into the power to make ourselves feel purposeful, to feel loved.

But make no mistake: the power is inside of us, nowhere else.

We can make ourselves feel loved, by loving ourselves and others.

We can make ourselves feel liked and approved of, by seeing ourselves and finding the miracle in what we see, finding contentment in who we are, just as we are.

We can make ourselves feel peace, by letting go of slights and judgments of others, and finding contentment in how things are, loving things as they are.

We can give ourselves joy, by realising our interconnectedness with others, by caring about others, by appreciating the heartbreaking beauty of this moment, just as it is.

We learn to press the Pause button before we make new commitments.

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 08:03:00 +0000

In this Zenquillity approach,

We learn to press the Pause button before we make new commitments. We hesitate before taking on something new, and evaluate whether we really have the mental space for it. We make ourself wait a bit, like a cooling off period.

Zenquillity is a completely new approach

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 07:53:00 +0000

Zenquillity is a completely new approach, we learn to recognise the excuse that were too busy to do something that’s important to us. If it’s important, we can make it happen. If we have too many other things … we just need to create structure so that we can make time for what matters. dropping the things that really don’t matter.

If we start making excuses, we need to confront ourself on it.

If were overloading ourself, it’s because we don’t have the courage to say no before we take something on.

If we feel overwhelmed, we need to let ourself feel overwhelmed. And then make the time to get our most important mission done.

So this is Zenquillity, boiled down: Awaken to when were justifying not doing something important, and stop buying the excuse. Make the space, create structure and make it happen. Awaken to when were about to quit doing something important that we’ve committed to, because were feeling too busy. Make the Zen space and structure for it. Awaken to when were about to give up because something is uncomfortable. Zenquillity into the discomfort and go deeper. Pause before taking on new things. we don’t have room for new things right now. Instead, become a Zen finisher. Deal with feelings of overwhelm by creating space for silence, meditation, and wide open freedom in our consciousness.

Life is too short to be without ZENQUILLITY

Do not use others’ lack of healing as an excuse for not healing yourself.

"Seeing the hordes of people, the prophet went up to the mountain and sat down, and his closest followers gathered round. He opened his mouth, and this is what he taught: Life’s most fortunate are those who are humble enough to receive the truth. They shall know the true beauty of life...Read what he said below:"
Do not use others’ lack of healing as an excuse for not healing yourself. It is all too easy to focus on others’ flaws at the expense of your own inward journey. Many who purport to heal others have not the slightest awareness of their own insanity.

The ideal of the perfection of giving--is "no giver, no receiver.

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 07:50:00 +0000

Have you ever seen someone do something courteous and then get angry for not being properly thanked? True compassion has no expectation of reward or even a simple "thank you" attached to it. To expect a reward is to maintain the idea of a separate self and a separate other.

The ideal of the perfection of giving--is "no giver, no receiver." For this reason, by tradition, begging monks receive alms silently and do not express thanks. Of course, in the conventional world, there are givers and receivers, but it's important to remember that the act of giving is not possible without receiving. Thus, givers and receivers create each other, and one is not superior to the other.

That said, feeling and expressing gratitude can be a tool for chipping away at our selfishness, so unless you are a begging monk, it's certainly appropriate to say "thank you" to acts of courtesy or help.

Genuine compassion must have both wisdom and loving-kindfulness.

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 07:43:00 +0000

Compassion is an aspiration, a state of mind, wanting others to be free from suffering. It's not passive -- it's not empathy alone -- but rather an empathetic altruism that actively strives to free others from suffering. Genuine compassion must have both wisdom and lovingkindness. That is to say, one must understand the nature of the suffering from which we wish to free others (this is wisdom), and one must experience deep intimacy and empathy with other sentient beings (this is lovingkindness)."

Compassion brings great warmth and kindness

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 03:25:00 +0000

"We realise the intimate connection between the conventional truth and the ultimate truth through the practice of compassion. It is through compassion that we become thoroughly grounded in the conventional truth and thus prepared to receive the ultimate truth. Compassion brings great warmth and kindness to both perspectives. It helps us to be flexible in our interpretation of the truth, and teaches us to give and receive help in practicing the precepts."

Zenquillity is the practice of giving

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 03:20:00 +0000

Zenquillity is the practice of giving is universally recognised as one of the most basic human virtues, a quality that testifies to the depth of one's humanity and one's capacity for self-transcendence. In the teaching of the Buddha, too, the practice of giving claims a place of special eminence, one which singles it out as being in a sense the foundation and seed of spiritual development.

Beings are numberless;
I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible;

Calm is his thought, calm his speech, and calm his deed

"There is no more worldly existence for the wise one who, like the earth, resents nothing, who is firm as a high pillar and as pure as a deep pool free from mud. Calm is his thought, calm his speech, and calm his deed, who, truly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly tranquil and wise."

Child Within TENSTAGE+

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 02:32:00 +0000

1. JOYFUL RECOVERY IN TEN STAGES+

We begins the journey of joyful recovery with the thought of fully understanding our predicament and how we got their. We have taken a profound life changing decision, the most basic of which is "May I attain understanding for the benefit of my child within and all others." Even at this early stage, we come to recognise the emptiness circle of our materialistic life. In this first early stage, we start to cultivate the solution to our problems by the use of loving- kindfulness, the perfection of giving or generosity to the self and others in which we recognise there are no givers and no receivers so breaking the endless circle of drama and chaos that has enveloped our lives.

2. Child Within PURITY

We cultivate and understand, the perfection of morality, which culminates in selfless compassion for all others. We are purified of our immoral conduct and dissociations that have mercilessly ruled our lives.

3. LUMINOUS OR RADIANANCE OF THE CHILD WITHIN

We are now become purified of the poisons of dissociations that have ruthlessly effected our child within communication.
We cultivate a new understanding of ourselves, which is the practice of patience or forbearance firstly of ourselves then others, Now we have gained the knowledge that we can bear all burdens of the material life and hardships to complete our permanent recovery, we journey forwards and escape the circles of drama and chaos which surround us. We achieve the deep reflective absorptions of loving kindfulness as generated by our awakened child within and we start to experience a new feeling of power and authority over our life.

4. THE BRILLIANT BLAZING LAND of the child within

OUR remaining false conceptions are burned away by our new awakening, and our good qualities are pursued. This level is also associated with, the realisation of the child withins great renewed energy power and authority.

5. THE SHADOW SELF THAT IS DIFFICULT TO CONQUER
Now as we go deeper into our land of quiet meditation, this place is deeply associated with the perfect child within, the deep peace of meditation. We pierce through the darkness of ignorance. Now we understands the Truth of our predicament and the Two Truths of the revelation of the child within. As we develop ourself, we devote ourselves to the welfare of others.

6. Child Within LOOKING FORWARD TO WISDOM
We become associated with, the natural path of true wisdom. We see that all phenomena are without self-essence and understand the nature of Co-Dependent dissociations -- the way all of us arise and cease conflict with ourself and others.

7. THE FAR-REACHING WISDOM OF THE CHILD WITHIN
We acquire the power of understanding, or skilful means to help others realise the path to true recovery..At this point, we have have transcended our original dissociated predicament and we can manifest into our reality in whatever form is most needed for the recovery of others.

8. THE IMMOVABLE CHILD WITHN
We can no longer be disturbed because our merger with the child within is within sight. From our transcendence we can no longer fall back to earlier stages of our dissociated development.

9. CHILD WITHINS GENEROUS THOUGHTS
We understands the reality of all kindfulness teachings and meditations which we are able to pass on to others.

10. We become confirmed in our belief...
We become are purified in our new belief system of kindfulness, and we re-enter our birth-hood of peace and tranquility. Child Within contact becomes the haven for contented children we have become.

Switch to olive oil for better health

noreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:47:00 +0000

Indian households should completely switch to olive oil as a cooking medium as its nutritional value is very high, it is rich in monounsaturated 'good' fats and, when used daily, can bring instant and easy wellness to a family's diet, celebrity chef and noted cookery expert Nita Mehta says. "Even though we have such a wide range of olive oils in our market, people don't seem to use them because of their mental block that the flavour of olive oil doesn't gel with Indian flavors," Mehta said at the launch here Satuday her latest book, "Indian Cooking With Olive Oil".
