Visiting for the First Time? Read Me First
Perhaps one of the most important parts of a strong spiritual practice is the practice of tarka or reflective journaling. Reflection upon your inner and outer life is essential if you wish to progress along the path. These reflections on your life can help you see your mind more clearly. Your relationship to yourself, the world, and others is revealed in each journal entry. We can sometimes be blinded by our own beliefs or trapped in a cycle of thinking that is unhealthy for us.
Tarka can help us to illumine the way before us, discard old beliefs, and change our attitudes and ways of thinking.
This blog is designed to help you reflect upon your life and examine your mind so that you may travel the path of enlightenment with greater ease and harmony.
Set aside a little time each day to write in your journal and respond to the prompts in the blog.
The benefits of a strong tarka practice will reveal themselves over time, particularly if you take some time out each month and reread what you have written in your journal. You will find patterns in your life and your examination of these patterns will help you make the changes in your life that you are striving for. The wisdom you gain will help you live the life you seek.
Daily Reflection and Journaling Prompt
As we all reach the end of 2013, most likely we are considering what we accomplished (or didn't accomplish) during 2013 and how we would like our lives to be different in 2014. These next two weeks are a great time for reflection. I urge you to spend a little time to make a list of all you have accomplished this year. Most of the time we tend to only think about what we did not achieve, so now is the time to give ourselves a pat on the back for those things we have done well.
