Have you ever tried meditation?  Saying one word for 20 minutes, 2 times a day ...  Arooshima.  Arooshima.  Arooshmia.   It's worse than running up heartbreak hill with a 20lb pack on your back (like a soldier training for war).  I'm well informed on the subject of mindfulness, but teaching the method to others is a little bit like climbing up that hill.  'You have to accept the words and let them go'. "Let them go?  How?" Focus on the word.  Arooshima.  Arooshima.  Arooshima. When other words interrupt, accept them, then bring your mind back to the word, Arooshima.  What goes on in your mind?  Does it chatter non-stop?  Can you make sense of what you're thinking?  Does it even matter what's in your mind?

Autumn is renowned for hustling in changes.  Whipping up winds and throwing thrashing rain down upon the earth, many poor mortals have forgotten what this all means.  Change.  People all over the planet know this is a season that gets us prepared for hunkering down and huddling up.  But while we transition from summer's hot glory through to winter's icy frosts, autumn gives more than a reason to pause for thought. Many believe this season is the season to change everything.  Many believe that change is in the air and this change will make a difference to everyone's lives.  We are all yearning for something different.  Hope, perhaps?  For a long time now sweeping changes have been in the making, and now they are nearly upon us, some of us wonder what to do.
