🍃 Hi Mindfulness buddies,

I am Crang, the new project agent of our community. I will also start posting in our Daily Mindfulness Check-in. I am very happy and excited to be here. :)

---------------------------------

As I am writing this post in the middle of the night with my windows open, I am wondering, what comes into your mind when you look into the sky? How do you feel when you look at it?

For those who are not sure, why not, come and join me for a moment as I stare at the stars in the beautiful night sky of our mother earth. ❤️

Looking at the wide expanse of the sparkling blue sky and the twinkling stars gives me a deep sense of freedom, as if I have wings to fly high and wide. Being in the lap of nature connects me closer to myself as well as to God.



As a child I used to sleep with my family and grandma on the terrace under the blue umbrella and radiant stars of the sky.

Each full moon 🎑 night I sit and meditate on my open terrace. Its so calming and super empowering.



Loved your post and sharing my experience.

@RideaRainbow

Hi Rainbow, I love how you vividly describe your experience. The wide sparkling blue sky really give a sense of freedom. It is indeed very relaxing and good for meditation.

You mentioned about freedom, what is the feeling of freedom for you? or perhaps, what is freedom for you? :)

Glad you like my description.


For me freedom is my free thoughts and will. Freedom from any biases or shackles. Freedom from fear.

@crang17

When I look at the sky, I search for stars (light pollution is horrible in my area). I usually look at the moon and think about the friends and people I have met from all around the world and remember that they look at the same sky. It makes me feel small but also connected to the rest of the world. Makes me feel less alone.

Hi Karina,

Thank you for sharing. Indeed, one gift that we all share is the sky. I feel that you are a very thoughtful and caring person as the first thing you see in the sky are faces of the people you've met in your life. This surely gives me another perspective when looking at the sky. 🌿

@crang17 thanks for this post.

I live near a city so the sky is to light to see the Milky Way, but when I have been out camping far from the city, I look up and see the Milky Way and it is totally amazing. I feel part of our whole galaxy.

What comes into your mind when you look into the sky? How do you feel when you look at it?

How small I am as compared to the cosmos. Although as human beings we try to be important and significant on our earth; are just a small speck in the roiling dust that is our universe. I am not diminishing the fact that we are important to each other and we matter; taking it all in on a clear night can make one begin to wonder just where our place in this vastness we call the universe is. So, yes, I do feel small compared to the cosmos.

crang17 OP November 24th, 2021

@xandia Hi Xandia, thank you for responding. :) I think what you said is true. We are very small compared to the cosmos. I remember one discussion back in one of my philosophy subjects - existentialism. The discussion went something like this.

Knowing that we are tiny compared to the cosmos actually remind us to stay humble and grounded at all times.

Personally, I find this not as a negative thing but a good reminder to care for others and our surroundings. We are so tiny and irrelevant, so we should always be mindful to not get too arrogant and hard to reach by the people around us. Somehow, it balances the perspective of self-care as well. There are things that we think we are the only people who can do so we push ourselves until we break, but in actuality, we just need to ask for help.

Hehe, okay, I got too consumed with my thoughts and shared a lot. Anyway, thank you Xandia for provoking my thoughts as well. ^_^ I hope to hears yours back.

Hi there Crang~


When I look up at the Night-Sky (depending on where I'm at, or how clear the night is), when Its a dark moon-lit night with millions of stars I can be thinking so many things!

If its in the Spring or Summer-time, I find that it expands my inner dreams of the places that I want to go to or still wish to see and travel to.... It makes me think of the dreams that I still want to accomplish and full-fill for myself ahead~


If its in the Fall or Winter, I am reminded of the all the dark, starry nights that I grew up in up North with my family. And all of the holidays that I spent there with them as a child. The warm snuggly feelings of snowy winters and watching the snowfall in the night against the black skies. It reminds me of all the times as a child how I would look up into the night & look at the stars and moon and dream away at my future. And what I would be doing, who I would be with, where I would be at, and what I would become~

Till this day, I still think of those things when I see a dark starry night~

It makes me wonder about the vastness of it , think about how it would feel to touch cloud or would that even be possible. I think what would happen if I were to fly and lot more.

This is a beautiful post and a beautiful picture. Love it!

When I look at the sky at night I feel very peaceful but also in some way connected knowing we are not alone here, there is so much more and all is connected in a very special way.

Thank you for this mindful check in. I usually do not take into consideration on just looking at the dark sky. When I do I see colors, I see many stars even some moving. I listen to the wind or animal and bug noises. I wonder how many stars there is? I also say a small prayer to my loved ones who past.❤️
