Nourishment and Healing

Dear Friends,

Tomorrow evening (Monday Nov-24) we will concentrate on one of the 5 mindfulness trainings.
This time we will look at the 5th:

Nourishment and Healing
Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful consumption, I am committed to cultivating
good health, both physical and mental, for myself, my family, and my society by
practicing mindful eating, drinking, and consuming. I will practice looking deeply into
how I consume the Four Kinds of Nutriments, namely edible foods, sense impressions,
volition, and consciousness. I am determined not to gamble, or to use alcohol, drugs, or
any other products which contain toxins, such as certain websites, electronic games, TV
programs, films, magazines, books, and conversations. I will practice coming back to the
present moment to be in touch with the refreshing, healing and nourishing elements in me
and around me, not letting regrets and sorrow drag me back into the past nor letting
anxieties, fear, or craving pull me out of the present moment. I am determined not to try
to cover up loneliness, anxiety, or other suffering by losing myself in consumption. I will
contemplate interbeing and consume in a way that preserves peace, joy, and well-being in
my body and consciousness, and in the collective body and consciousness of my family,
my society and the Earth.

Doors will be open at 19h30 (at the  Kapel, Kanaalstraat 6)
Meditation will start at 20h with
guided meditation on Nourishment and Healing (ca 25min)
Sielent walking meditation (ca 10 min)
Sielent sitting (ca 25min)

After that we have a short break,
If you want to stay in the silence or go to bed early feel free to go, for those who stay we continue with
Dharma sharing  (30 - 40 min)
and informal tea.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Hans
