"To be loved means to be recognized as existing" |
My name is Ximena, I'm 21 years old. I believe we must act compassionately towards all sentient beings, practicing mindfulness every step of the way. We must tend to our emotions with love and care, accepting all that is presented to us. Impermanence is everything.
"Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet." - Thich Nhat Hanh “When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change” ― Thich Nhat Hanh |

Notes"The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly—you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.
The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter—beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace—arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken."Eckhart Tolle (via lazyyogi)

I always want him to open up to me and ask me for help if he needs it.
But now that he asked me, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to help him…
He needs me and I will be strong.

Notes The Lazy Yogi: Attention DeficitWhen I was in high school, I was diagnosed with ADD and given medication. I took it every day during 10th grade and got straight A’s. I also didn’t ever go out over the weekends or feel like socializing.
I forgot to take my meds one day and had an amazing day, talking and laughing spontaneously…

Notesclothesb4bros: “Lost World” of Odd Species Found Off Antarctica
by Dave Mosher
A camera-equipped submersible robot filmed species such as barnacles, yeti crabs, anemones, and even an octopus, all of which are mostly colorless and live in utter darkness at depths of 7,875 feet (2,400 meters), according to a new study.
About 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) east of the southern tip of South America, “this is a new province of deep-sea life, something like a new continent, and it’s a place we’ve been trying to [reach] for a long time,” said study co-author Jon Copley, a marine biologist at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.
“It harbors some of the lushest abundance of life I have ever seen in the deep ocean,” he said.”
The species of Antarctica’s “lost world” were described this week (Jan. 4, 2012) in the journal PLoS Biology…

Anonymous asked: I've been trying to start a meditation practice, but I'm having a lot of trouble. When I stop doing things long enough to close my eyes and breathe, I start to cry. I've tried to keep breathing through it with slow, deep breaths and pay attention to my breath, but I still end up crying. I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks.
If you are going going going through life and suddenly stop and find yourself crying, it is because you have been avoiding something within.
There...
