Mindfulness

Simple Was Satisfying

Based on the excerpt from Susan Bauer Wu's latest book, "Leaves Falling Gently", below is my reflection:

I love the illuminating message offered by Susan Bauer-Wu in this article Simple Was Satisfactory. Simple pleasures in small things such as going to bed with freshly clean sheets, drinking a cup of tea, watching the sun rising and setting, listening to the birds singing, children playing at the park, clouds floating across the sky- simple things of life giving joyful delight effortlessly.

What is needed to have such gifts is my mindful and undivided presence. I need to be fully present to cherish such gifts. A wandering mind is not a happy mind. A fully present mind is a joyful and delightful mind. I live a relatively simple life. I have things that I need such as a house to live in with things I need, people who love me unconditionally, and offer my teaching and counselling gifts. Such simple things create deep joyful gratification in my life. Giving is receiving. Life is a gift. Offering gifts of love to others unconditionally gives me a lot of joy and happiness.
​I would like to conclude my response in the following words: " The cultivation of mindfulness is a key to waking up and fully experiencing simple pleasures."-Susan Bauer Wu
Namaste!

Simple, but satisfied is a beautiful way to describe the way my parents raised my brother and I.

we were brought up to appreciate everything that we had and took care of our toys when we were children and everything we were blessed with as we grew up. We never compared ourselves to other people or felt that we were deprived because we had all the love in the world. We had a safe home and wonderful family.

as my father passed away at a young age of 42 my mother raised my brother and I with all the necessities in life. This gave us all the tools to raise our families in an appreciative and powerful way. There is where we find our happiness because we always live in a state of mindful abundance.

Namaste
