This is the essence of Zen, nay, of life. In order to live fully, we do not have to struggle hard. Like the grass which springs into life upon the arrival of right time, we also have to find the right time/path for personal blossoming. But that time/path cannot be dictated by will-power or rational thinking. It has to come from our inner strength, we have to let it happen. There are various methods to tap into that source and one of them is meditation—the non-cultic cultivation of personal awareness and transcendence of body and mind. Once we become aware of our body and mind, life blossoms like a flower. Because if the conditions are right, nothing can prevent a flower from blossoming. If we also follow the same example, life becomes full of joy and happiness.
Harnessing Mindfulness Good Morning Parmjit I apologize for taking so long in contacting you. I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent. Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.
Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our meetings.
Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
