Summary: A parable about the loss of motivation to practise meditation and how to develop it.

Extract: "Susie is very interested in meditation at first, she thinks it sounds like a great idea that offers a glamorous new lifestyle but then problems set in. She finds it difficult to sit comfortably for long periods of time, she feels too hot, too cold, she gets an itch, she feels bored, her internal dialogue continues relentlessly, and she does not find anything like the peace and bliss that she has heard about, so in a way she gives up... Contrast this with another aspect of Susie. Susie visits a weekend outdoor market where she loses her diamond studded wedding ring..." Read the story...

SUMMARY: A story that illustrates how we block our own path to success and how to use a Zen and the Art of Living technique to bring about personal change.

Extract: " As the lights turn green and he steps on the accelerator the car stalls. He looks at the empty fuel gauge. "Haven't I suffered enough?" he groans with despair. He gets out of the car and struggles to push it through the intersection. None of the other drivers seem to care. They honk and manoeuvre their way pass his car, giving him long stares. "You too, mate," he shouts at one of the drivers. A cloud of exhaust fumes fill his lungs and make him feel nauseous. The lights turn red before he can get the car across the intersection.

SUMMARY: What does meditation have to do sex?

Extract: "I don’t know if you have ever heard of Osho but He is this Indian guy that was around in the last century. He was Professor of Philosophy at Jabalpur University in India until 1966, and he is a pretty amazing Psychologist. Osho reckons that meditation developed out of an interest in what happens during the peak of sexual orgasm and what happens during deep sleep.

So you’re there… watching the breath…noticing the internal dialogue get quieter and quieter…and as the mind becomes silent you enter a space of nothingness…you drop deeper into the nothingness…you keep your awareness on the breath in the belly…and you allow yourself to dissolve into the nothingness…you give yourself up totally into the silence and let go…"

SUMMARY: A metaphor about a flower that wishes to open her heart.

Extract: " This time the flower set an intention to open her heart, her body and soul to the universe, no matter the consequences. With a dramatic unfolding she unfurled her petals. Her heat pounded. The increased pressure of the sap in her stems caused her pink petals to swell in a magnificent radiance. She felt a red blush coming to her cheeks and as her sacred juice exuded into the base of the flower an exquisite fragrance exploded from the pores of the flower..." Read the story
