MITZVAHS, MINDFULNESS AND MIRACLES... A Mitzvah is not a good deed, it'a channel for divine energy to uplift, heal and beautify your life. Mitavahs are universal, for everyone.

Through living the mitzvah, experiencing it directly, we discover not only a new way of being, but connect with energy and blessings way beyond what we can imagine.

LEARNING HOW TO SAY HELLO

Our usual way is usually to resist what comes to us in life, fight it, change it, try to run away from it. Zen practice does the opposite...we learn how to say hello. We sit still, walk mindfully, welcome whatever comes into our lives, truly experience it. We are making room for everything to come as it is, have space to grow, alter, transform, even illuminate us. It is not what comes that is so difficult, but the way we receive, or refuse to receive it, and then to let it go. In this practice we simply give life the room to be as it is. And, in doing so, we too, have the room to be who we are, and transform, as well.

It's easy to become afraid of all the storms that life presents. Especially when they're announced with terror and catastrophic expectations. All kinds of storms appear these days in every area of our lives, weather, health, politics, work and just daily living. Let's not agree with these announcements. Let's not see the every changing face of life as one storm after the next..

Instead, let us learn to see the beauty, power and healing each so called storm contains... Let us learn to play with it. A few snowflakes are filled with delight, and so are all happenings. As we receive life's events in a joyous, playful and grateful manner, it will affect them as well... When we feel pleasure and love for a lion rolling along the road, the lion calms and quiets, responds to what is going on.

We are not victims of any storm, but the smile in the center of it.
