Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
So there's a story about a Zen
master who taught just one simple
method for inner peace and awakening.
Her name was Sono, and she advised
everybody who came to her to
adopt a particular affirmation.
And this affirmation was to be said many
times a day and under all conditions.
So the affirmation was this:
Thank you for everything.
I have no complaints whatsoever.
So many people from all walks
of life came to see Sono.
They'd heard about this spiritual teaching
that she did was transforming lives.
So some of them came to see her
and they were in physical pain.
Others were really suffering emotionally.
Some had been through great loss.
And some were seeking spiritual awakening.
But no matter what their distress or
their desire, she always gave them
just that one, same practice, a mantra.
Thank you for everything.
I have no complaints whatsoever.
So some people, when they went to
see Sona, they came away disappointed
with such a simple teaching.
But people who began to practice it found
deep inner peace, healing and happiness.
So what Sono knew was that in life
we only ever experience present
moments, just one after the other.
So your relationship with
the present moment is your
relationship to life itself.
So often in life, when the circumstances
of the present moment don't show
up the way we want them to, or
they're a little unpleasant, and we
psychologically struggle with what is.
We dislike it, we get angry with it, we
think it shouldn't be this way or we go
to outright war with it, raging against
the way things are, and that creates
so much of our stress and suffering.
But when we stop being locked in
battle with life and we wage peace
with the way things are, we can arrive
wholeheartedly in the here and now.
So personal story.
I recently got a cold sore on my face
the day before I had to do a film shoot.
And I was mortified.
These negative starts, thoughts
started to roll through my head.
I look disgusting.
I can't do this.
This is humiliating.
And I had so much negativity
and shame washing over me.
I felt really debilitated by it.
And then I remembered this
mantra, Thank you for everything.
I have no complaints whatsoever and I
just let it fill my mind over and over.
And as I let go of thinking, things
should be different and just let
them be the way they are, all that
constriction in my mind just opened.
And suddenly I realized the beauty all
around me, the aliveness all around
me, and I was washed with gratitude.
You know, that I get to do these
daily moments for you and connect
with you in this way, that I have
such an amazing team to work with
and grateful for what make-up can do.
So yeah, this week, I invite you to carry
Sono's mantra with you, play with it.
If you feel in resistance to what's
happening or out of touch, simply repeat
these words, thank you for everything.
I have no complaints whatsoever.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
