The Best Meditation Quotes on Mediation and Enlightenment
There can be little doubt that Eckhart Tolle is one of the most inspiring people in the world; certainly in the realms of self improvement and spirituality. In a great segment on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, Eckhart Tolle answered the question of how to stop thinking too much. This is great for many reasons: it can help you stop thinking about someone, stop thinking about food, stop thinking negative thoughts and can even get you more connected to life and to the present moment.
As Tolle explains, if you are asking the question "How to stop thinking too much," and if you are aware of the voice in your head, you are already ahead of the game. Most people don’t realise that they themselves are creating the voice in their head. When hearing a voice in their head saying, “I must do the washing up” (for instance) most people don’t have clear presence to think “There is a voice in my head telling me to do the washing up” they simply think “I HAVE to do the washing up.” Read more [...]
In this article: A brilliant way to make housework enjoyable and relaxing; it's the best way how to relax at home.
Housework can be a great way of relaxing at home
So, I just finished scrubbing the conservatory floor on my hands and knees, tile by tile. It’s a long job and a job on most days I really would not want to do. You probably have a whole horde of similar jobs you yourself perform; you know, those blinking horrid chores we hate to do but which always need doing.
As I said, on any normal day I would not enjoy scrubbing the conservatory tiles at all. Yet today was different. Why? For two reasons. First off, I’ve been struggling to come up with new creative ideas for work, and secondly, I was due a meditation session.
Turns out that scrubbing the floor (and other housework) can be a brilliant way of relaxing and even of coming up with valuable new ideas, new thoughts or new ways of looking at things. Lets deal with the relaxation part first.

Dalai Lama Quotes on Death
"Death is a part of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, it is bound to happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, it is better to understand its meaning. We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face."

Solipsist; a beautiful short film about connectedness and transcendence
On the surface, Andrew Huang's Solipsist is a gorgeously lush visual masterpiece, its colours exploding right out of the screen with palpable beauty. It is the sort of short film that you'll begin to watch and then ten minutes later, at the film's conclusion, question just how exactly the director managed to hijack your mind so absolutely. It is a meditation on colour, an artistic candy store of delight.
Looking deeper, one can see how the title takes form in the work.
Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is certain to exist, that we cannot know for sure that the material world, other people, even life itself exists outside of the realms of our own mind. The sequences of the film reflect this idea as the various characters try to transcend their physical form to connect to one another.
