Sacred Word Como Water

Each Monday, Tiffany posts a message that provides positive energy and tips for eating more mindfully. The purpose of the weekly message is to reinforce the ideas from the talks and classes that are a part of the Como Water Membership, and to further support those living the veg-centric lifestyle. To receive our Mindfulness Mondays posts, Become A Member today.

 

Today’s Mindfulness Mondays post is an excerpt from a book I’m reading. It’s simple, but pointed message really spoke to me, which of course means that I wanted to share it with you! Some words on moderation… even in meditation. Enjoy! 🙂

Sacred Word

A monk named Shrona was trying to meditate, but his

mind was either too tight or too loose. He asked Buddha

for advice. Buddha inquired, “When you were a

householder, did you play the guitar beautifully?”

“Yes, indeed.”

“Was the sound right when you tightened the strings hard,

or when you loosened them a lot?”

“Neither. I had to do it with moderation.”

“It is the same here. To meditate you have to moderate

the tightness and looseness of your mind.”
