Zaran the Gardener, planting seeds of & nourishing our Soul with mindfulness

this word has sometimes confused me, as in (?) what do you mean (?),  but no longer, it is the space one creates between what was and could be, it is now, in the moment we live, even when we are distracted by those two  imposters as in "this present moment is unique, never to be the same twice."  How does One approach this celebration?  this entry into the Unknown? that which is the &quo...

it doesn't end, don't get too excited about where you are or where you've been, keep your Self centered in "the moment" keep flowing again and again and again, the Universe is always probing you to Grow. It is the way of Creation, you know, think about it. Utilizing your "born with" tools, one's physicality, one's natural processes to help guide one Sel...

makes sense right, everyone talks about meditation and mindfulness, but do they explain why (?) you should do it? do they explain your sovereignty, what's at stake? Today, as in the Past, we are asked to believe many different Cultural, Societal, and Spiritual Traditions, asked to have Faith in what is presented... should we just accept what is shared (?) should we be doing our own Inquiry, s...

who do you think you are? are you a bundle of miracles, do you have a bunch of responsibilities? to your Self, your Family, your Society? Of Course you do, are you aware enough to see this? Are you brave enough to rise up from convention to see the Universe, Creation with 21st. century eyes? I know you are!  Cousin comments or questions?

before you begin a meditation or mindfulness session, one's daily practice, we need to know what we're doing it for, follow along and see what my recommendation is the World is on fire and you and I need to extinguish the flames, one needs to know where they are going before setting out, one needs to make their own goals before  and as you are gaining more awareness understanding whom an...

A call for heightening one's Awareness and Flowing ease, how else will one sustain "the living moment" without some effort for change... flowing begins with just a moment's time, it is an awareness of being. Glowing you are, shining, yet do you know this is whom you are? Being a vessel, allowing, accepting, potential energy emanating, grasp whom and what you are, a shimmering c...

practice basics I can hear a lot of mumble jumble telling you about this or that, which way to turn, what to do, and it is great to have this variety of opportunities to study so many different Ways to get to know one Self.  Within each of these practices are even more basic "principles" or practices being assimilated by a "practitioner" like you or me and they are the basic hu...

from where are we coming to be stepping in the right direction? from within our Selves to all directions, this is a valuable goal.  the one-ness  spoken of is not something remote or un-available, it is what we are not, be-ing everywhere!  so, when you begin to perceive more, when you begin to open your heart and soul wider, you also begin to perceive more until the Universe says hello, welcome ho...

this is the third of a series of three pods discussing the essence of practice. it is in and of it self, an introduction, not a deep dive into the depths of our Souls, but important as a beginning to better understand our commitments and goals.  No doubt, one needs a goal and one needs to make a commitment to one Self to reach toward it. these three pods together are a basic primer in how one can...

Get comfortable, be un-disturbed; looking inside, discover your breathing; looking inside, discover your heart squeezing, pulsing blood; looking inside, discover you are alive, your body vibrating gently with Life's Energy.  I like to call "shimmering," if you don't mind. This is a good beginning for everyone, no matter what religious or spiritual preference you may have, it is...

It's time to recognize a goal completed and a desire to improve, to help make more intelligible, with deeper significance, and awe at one's own be-ing.  It is always here, meaning our godliness, our souls, yet our minds are skittering back and forth, unable to look one''s own Soul in it's eyes.  So many eyes over a billion years, right?  They are all here, inside. It'...

Congratulations, this is the 100th. published podcast.  It's a basic reminder of what we are doing and why.  It's around 14 minutes and reviews our basic principles explaining why we do what we do in meditation and mindfulness.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you have comments or questions they are welcome and I will respond. Initially, I set this as my first goal and having accomplished this...

no, I'm not talking about you or I and another,  I'm talking about you or I or anyone else, just by themself,  as we have multiple brains in our noggins; think whom you are; know there is always more; laugh at how ridiculous we are compared to the immensity of Life, of Creation, of Possibilities, of Potential and allow your Self to be in Awe "caus" you are here, now, a bundle o...

funny, the alligator is you and I, and to me, for sure, we are wrestling with Life, as an alligator or not, it is a process from birth to death and we are part of it... how do we want to proceed?  As best we can! Practicing what we envision / have as a goal (s) makes sense. So, get and keep practicing, a little bit everyday, fellow alligators (cousins). Practice what? Be-ing the very best YOU can,...

did you forget?  I do, way tooooo often.  So, I meditate and practice mindfulness all day, bringing my attention back again and again to the greater recognition of what actually is or at least "my" perception of IT. I share my gratitude and sense of humility and sense of Understanding that it is not an easy road to travel, sometimes, it is easier just to bury One's Head succumbing,...

We assume so much, yet wear goggles most of the time, un-aided by the potential of our mind's and physical capabilities.  We are cast upon the vast Sea of Life in it's endless possibilities without a paddle.

Whom do you think, wrong, that be-ing is already long gone, how many moments have past since you last enquired of Your Self, right?  O.K. similar, maybe more than likely, yet nothing is the same as it was... that's the fundamental Law of Creation, everything is constantly balancing, rising and falling, shifting, oscillating if you like, back and forth, and in every other direction and means....

Yes, you do, probably quite a few, you've been called or called Your Self. Many names for many reasons, then, O.K. A broader perspective finds Us inviting infinitely  more possibilities, Creation has been around for a long time... Say, 10 million years ago, your Ancestor as represented in the line of DNA in your cells, what was your Name?  Or, go back 100 million years, (it's not actuall...
