Spiritual Practice

zazen, shikantaza meditation

Styles of Zen meditation.

forgiving others for their past mistakes

Priority request.

visualizing the desired outcome, then surrendering it to God

Priority request: spiritual teachers advise to be unattached to outcomes. I found this approach useful. It lets the mind settle because I feel like I got something "off my chest" and then there is peace that God will bring about what is supposed to happen, independent of my desires and fears.

asking God to help others

Request: When you see the suffering of another person, ask God to help them. Is it good to do it or is it better to believe that God will help them anyways and not pray for them?

"yes, Lord"

Possibly the most powerful spiritual posture a human being can assume, that of following the Lord no matter what.

a prayer for inner peace

How I've been praying lately.

praying for the animals whose meat you've just eaten

Request: Feels like the right thing to do. But is it?

"Bypassing the mind" meditation style of Dr. Hawkins

Request: In chapter 4 of "Discovery of the Presence of God", in Q&A section, there is a question "What should one focus on in meditation?"

listening to positive affirmations every day

Request: Making a short list of positive affirmations such as "Everything is always working out for me," or "My life is ruled by order and harmony" then recording them and playing them on repeat for 10 minutes or so. Is this an effective way to use mantras and align with a positive field?
