To live content

November 16, 2015November 12, 2015 Karl Duffy

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion….

In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.

William Henry Channing, 1810 -n1884, Unitarian clergyman and philosopher

Mindfulbalance supports the slow, patient practice of mindfulness meditation, as a way to find balance and meaning in life, reduce stress and develop health and wellbeing. It contains reflections to encourage the practice of meditation as well as occasional posts from psychology, spirituality and the wisdom traditions. The daily posts are prompted by Rilke's advice: "Write about what your everyday life offers you, your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind, and your belief in some kind of beauty".
