Dharma and healing - reflections from a Chinese medicine doctor - Clear Sky Meditation Centre

 As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, I talk to people about their aches and pains, their injuries, their digestion. We talk about their anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes or allergies, and I try to help. And yes, the medicine does help with these things.

The deeper question is, what does each of us really seek in terms of healing? What is the deepest longing in one’s own being? Is it to get rid of your hot flashes and knee pain, or are you looking for something else? Read more @ https://www.clearskycenter.org/dharma-and-healing/

Image
  Your time for meditation can be limited. Yet there are ways beyond simple mindfulness that can help you bring your spiritual practice into your working day. The spiritual teachings and meditation entered my life in a life-changing way while I was living in Japan. Yet, after just a few months, I found I was using most of my energy for work and commuting. I was struggling to find time to sit in meditation. Often, I had to start work across Tokyo at 7:30 or 8 am. On those days, I was skipping my morning meditation then feeling too tired to sit at night. Here are some tips to fit your meditation hours into your busy working days: https://bit.ly/3J397dY
