Vipassana: video Phillipines

This has a nice easy to listen to summary of the process. Guess what I was blogging about a year ago. ?? Vipassana video experiences.

Road to Vipassana Year 2

I applied and received my acceptance letter from the Georgia Vipassana center a few days ago.  I sometimes wonder if I am brave or just plain crazy to want (really desire) to go back.  I feel compelled to stay on this road to enlightenment.  It is the only place that makes sense to me really.  I have been facing challenges weekly in my meditation and have not reached that equanimous state during the most challenging times yet.  I accept that it is all a part of my process.  Knowing that this is a process,  I believe will help me during my next sitting.  "WE" will see.  Again, I plan on  making a set a videos that I hope others find helpful for their research or in their journey too or just to share.  (Feeling the sensations as I type this.) Namaste and Metta

blogging

I have some things to post.  I have been a little behind on this.  I am still here though.  I am planning on doing a follow up Vipassana video, also.  I have  a layout to post and I am planning a Valentine's layout for Everything Scrapbook and Stamps.  Hope all is well in your world.

Thank you notecards

I like to make Thank you notecards instead of cards.  It saves paper and it also saves me from folding all of the cards.

Favorite JUNK Food- is actually super healthy

 Chili con Kale

Walnut Pate with Chipotle

My favorite JUNK food isn't junk food at all  but it tastes so good  it seems like it should not be good for you.  My new favorite place to eat is Choices Vegan Cafe.  I went there in November and re-visited last week and decided, "Yes, this is my new favorite place."  I wasn't one for spicy food, but I love the way the food is spiced here  and when I say spicy  I don't mean "hot".  The baked sweet potatoes still satisfy the old french fries cravings..  I think eventually I will stop ordering them, once I wean myself off.  The menu has changes and there are so many more options that I can have now.

Happy New Year 2012

This year offers quick change.  I have been very busy with the first edition of mborrerophoto.com magazine and today  I am working on the second edition.  I was putting together thank you cards earlier and later I am working on scrapbook layouts.  From moment to moment I change what I do,  inside I know that is also true.  I am very thankful in this moment  for all the things that have lead me to this moment.  I especially like to thank S.N.Goenka and all the people who volunteer at the Vipassana Centers  for bringing the road to enlightenment to the masses. I am still working on my meditation and I hope on returning to a center this year.  For those who have been looking  you may want to start here.

Meeting more enlightened people and vegans

The last two weeks have been interesting and I am not surprised because the New Year is right here, okay around the corner.  I have met people a few miles from my house  that practice Vipassana, and I have sat and meditated with them, I have met a person  who is on their way  to discovering Vipassana and I met a Vegan who is raising her son from day one as a vegan.  I am thankful for these moments.

Choices Cafe  in the Brickell Area of Miami is now occupying the same space as the previous tenant of vegetarian and vegan fare, Om Garden  (more info see www.vegguide.org).  The food is good and priced right..definitely a must try.
