The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 368

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to my daily blog again from my window of wonder at the Galway clinic. When you are shut away like I have been for the last 96 hours, even among all the procedures in hospital, you have plenty of time to think and even relax in pain, if you can understand me. This type of relaxation brings about a natural awareness which can be the opposite to the busy past life that I have lived even though I would spend at least 90 minutes meditating and praying daily. In our so called modern world most of us are lost in our ordinary minds. We are all caught up in the drama, we are lost in habitual reactivity, anxiety, irritation or sadness. We work in auto pilot and just go through the motions of life and missing out on much of our lives and that of our family and friends. We are distracted from being who we are really meant to be. We need to go to a space of natural awareness. This is a sacred space where we can learn to rest in freedom and when we access natural awareness we feel a beautiful sense of compassion, kindness, interconnection, joy and radiance and just think how these qualities will impact all whom you meet. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
