Think Well:
Passage Meditations
Part VI

This is Part VII of an eight part blog.

As the New Year begins, I would like to offer a series of some of my favorite quotes. These quotes are meant to be read meditatively. In other words read each one slowly, then read it over a few times and then just sit and reflect on it either mentally or by journaling.

Some people find it difficult to just sit and meditate. Others of you can sit and meditate most of the time, but some days your minds are just too much on overdrive. So, this method of meditation, I have found, is a perfect way to slow the mind down and find peace and repose even for the most hyper of individuals.

It is called passage meditation. As well, it is great food for your Soul! You feel uplifted and inspired after doing this for 5 to 10 minutes a day.

So, for this whole month I will be offering you a series of quotes for this purpose. This is a great way to get your New Year started off on the right foot.

The foundation for all success and joy in life, from my point of view, is the quiet mind and the open heart.

So, let start these next few weeks with our hearts leading the way!

There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.
Blaise Pascal

For light I go directly to the Source of light
not to any of the reflections.
Peace Pilgrim

Seek truth in meditation, not in moldy books.
Look in the sky to find the moon, not in the pond.
Persian proverb

When you practice meditation,
slowly the clouds of sorrow melt away.
And the sun of wisdom and true joy will
be shining in the clear sky of your mind.
Kalu Rinpoche
