Mindfulness

Take three minutes and consider Monday! Monday is the perfect day to begin again! The ideal day to meditate just a little longer! The best day to expand your practice into a new way of being! Come, sit, relax, breathe in peace, breathe out love. Be still. Feel the energy – the energy that your breath generates – breathe in peace, breathe out love! The alchemy of your heart converts the prana to the energy of love. Fill the room with love.

And this Digestive system depends on “Digestive fire. “

Kyudo or Japanese Zen archery is the art of controlling the mind, the body, and conduct.

Kyudo is Japanese archery melded with the influence of both Shinto and Zen Buddhism, an offshoot martial art of kyujutsu. From there, it was developed as a spiritual meditation that utilizes the elements of focus, discipline and precision to achieve Zen. 

 

The Art of Shooting

From its name, kyudo means “the way of the Bow” and is one of Japan’s oldest martial arts. 

In today’s always-on world, multi-tasking is the norm. When you’re doing a lot of things at the same time, it can feel like you’re accomplishing more. It’s even common to feel guilty and unproductive when you are only doing one thing at a time.

However, neuroscience tells us that it is actually impossible to pay attention to two things at once. When we think we are doing two things simultaneously (like watching TV and answering email), we are actually “task-switching”—switching back and forth rapidly between two or more tasks.
