Stop Thinking and End Your Problems

Starting in February there will be a weekly audio meditation and teaching available for a $5 donation. A portion of the donation will go towards a different charity organization each week. Funds raised and donated will be tracked on our giving back page.

Daily Reflections
The Tao te Ching tells us that we can stop thinking and end our problems. What does this mean? It means that the cause of your problems is you. Yes, this is very difficult to admit. It is much easier to place the blame outside of ourselves. The Buddha taught the same idea and so did Patanjali. Today, I want you to think about one problem that you have been experiencing. What is this problem? What is the root of this problem? Take a look at or examine your thoughts surrounding this problem. Think about how changing your thinking about the problem can change the problem. You can end this problem today all you have to do is change your thinking.
