“Meditation is not concentration. It is simple awareness. You simply relax and watch the breathing. In that watching, nothing is excluded. The car is humming - perfectly okay, accept it. The traffic is passing - that's okay, part of life. The fellow passenger snoring by your side, accept it. Nothing is rejected. You are not to narrow down your consciousness.” LifeSidesSimpleConsciousnessAcceptingWatchesMeditationAwarenessCarOkayFellowsPassingPassingsBreathingRelaxConcentrationRejectedTrafficParts Of LifePassengersYour SideExcludedHummingSnoring Author:Rajneesh
“When you begin to believe you have license because you are a special person breathing special oxygen, that's when you're in big trouble. That's the road to insanity. And a lot of people in the studios are like that. They believe that they are special. I do think actors are blessed, or cursed, with maybe a slightly heightened awareness, which you have to use.” PeopleThinkingBelievePersonsUseBigsActorsTroubleSpecialAwarenessBlessedStudiosBreathingInsanityOxygenLicenseCursed Author:Anthony Hopkins

“I bring my attention to my hands on the steering wheel and notice how the chatter in my mind begins to fall away as my breathing slows. I'm awake and alive, simply driving the car going where I need to go, on time and in time. A still point of the turning world. With that awareness, I bring my attention into my body, and the body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.” WorldNeedsMindStillsMomentsBodyHandsFallAttentionAliveAwarenessCarGoes OnDrivingBreathingAwakeWheelsPresent MomentTimelessDoorwaysChatterSteeringLive Simply Author:Roger Housden
“I don't have any choice any more. I am in a choiceless awareness. I don't have to be aware. I am simply aware. Now it is just like my heartbeat or like my breathing. Even if I try not to be aware, it is not possible; the very effort will make me more aware. Awareness is not a quality, a characteristic; it is your whole being. When you become aware, there is no choice left to be otherwise.” IfsTryingWholeChoicesLeftEffortQualityAwarenessBreathingCharacteristicsHeartbeat Author:Rajneesh
