THE VESSEL OF THEMES
When you come to Cottonwood Gathering you have the opportunity to contribute theme ideas to the Vessel of Themes.
Write the thought onto a slip of paper, fold it in half, and drop it into the glittering Vessel.
At the end of each Gathering, someone reaches in to the vessel and pulls one of the ideas out and reads it aloud, and this then becomes the theme for the following week.
Here's what gently arose its power last Sunday:
“Your Habits: Best/Worst?”
The patterns of our lives. The repeating patterns we hold in our lives, often without realizing it.
I have some habits I dont like, that I want to diminish. I have some habits that I want to bring in to my life. And I know that most of the habits I've tried to cultivate, and those I tried to get rid of, it often didnt work out long-term.
I took a meditation course called Vipasanna, which is a Burmese word meaning "As It Is". We practiced calming our chattering, judgemental mind into a silent observer of the present moment, without reactive judgements pulling us into the illusions of the past and future. This was to practice breaking the "habit patterns of the mind".
The Circle is Open!
