Well the new year is here ( for us in the Southern Hemisphere), and it's wet and windy in my neck of the woods...But yesterday I saw this auspicious sign...A rainbow halo around the sun :)

So what's your NY's resolution ?

Or like me, you don't have one ?

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!.... and may it be a wholesome one :)

    12 minutes from new year for me and just going to bed. Just did another sitting. Pain in my head is less. I see tomorrow just as another day. I do have a few resolutions and They are to meditate every day. Harness mindfulness in everyday activities and to speak less and listen more. Very excited about attending a Buddhist class with a sangha on a weekly basis!

    I now know why it is auspicious...In 5 weeks time the Chinese NY will be welcomed in and 2016 is the year of the monkey...It's our year monkey people...

    Clinging & grasping seems to be the bane of our pesky monkey minds which more often than not could lead one to get caught up in a number of unpleasant situations of ones own making ....

    Perhaps the resolution (if making one) should be to learn to let go ...just drop it :)

    @Shoshin, that baboon flick was triple awesome!

    BTW, I typically eschew the @usersname function, as some pretty petty stuff sometimes comes out via this vehicle —but when I don't use it for you, my "chellspecker" always changes it to Shoe shine. And I would NEVER insult you (Especially on New Years').

    @silver The first meditation teacher I visited told me meditation is an adventure - you never know what is going to come up. In this mornings second sit it was completely uneventful except for my usual habitual anxieties and pain in the knees.

    Well, as far as I am concerned, 1 out of 3 ain't bad, and is good for starters....!

    My meditation may last for moments only...it's really more of mindfulness 'practice' - and I combine it sometimes with NLP and/or EFT. Without the mindfulness, along with everything I've been exposed to here at NB, I would never have been able to look straight on at things I pushed aside or down...to know that there is no judgment or shame makes me free to do so. I guess that's why I said it's like a miracle.

    Reminds me of that old saying: "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life"
    Eeek, something else to worry about!

    I'm going to try worrying a bit less. I'm better than I used to be. Got a long way to go.

    Happy 2016!

    It won't be until April that I celebrate the new year. That's when spring comes around and it's always made more sense to me that way.

    This is still coming around to the end of the year for me but I'm a weirdo.
