Practing a beginners mindset
by pamharley003
Last post
 2 days ago
...See more A beginner's mindset in Buddhism or Zen is known as "don't-know mind" or shoshin. This means approaching a task, relationships, and learning with an eager mind and being non-judgmental. This is where you begin to let go of assumptions and have a free attitude. A beginner's mind is known to say, "I wonder how this works," to where an expert's mind is saying, "I already know how this works." A person's beginner mind needs to slow down and process what is being done or said. We just need to think before saying or acting out our emotions. We can begin using our mindset by looking at an object and pretending we never saw it. We begin to look at the shape, colors, and textures of the object. We can begin to notice our "what if" stance, asking ourselves, "What if I am wrong?" Common types of mindset: Growth vs. fixed mindset: Believing your talents are developed through hard work. Abundance vs. scarcity mindset: believing there is success, resources, and opportunities rather than thinking in a negative way. Stress Mindset: Viewing stress in a negative way rather than viewing it in a positive and learning way. How can we build our mindset where it is safe for us to have?

Words on Loving Kindness
by Joe7cups
Last post
 September 14th
...See more I read the following teaching by The Buddha and thought to myself, what the world would be like if we were all “skilled in goodness”. So I wanted to post this so at least we have some instructions from an enlightened human being. I am not a Buddhist but the more I read about Buddhism, the more I want to know. I’m sending you this with unconditional love.   The Buddha's Words on Loving-Kindness translated from the Pali by The Amaravati Sangha This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech, Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied, Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful, Not proud or demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born — May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.

My type of mindfulness
by N0rlin22
Last post
 July 4th
...See more In my religion of Islam we believe this life is only a test. If you guys are going through hardships, sicknesses, morally and physical tiredness please never forget that it shall all pass. “God does not give more then what a soul can bare”.  Whenever I’m going through something I make an intention for God to forgive my sins first for my previous, present, and future sins. I then ask for help and guidance 🤲🏻 And keep my trust in him. If you trust God and you rely on God, he is with you at all times. Perhaps maybe he will give you something BETTER then what you’ve asked, or maybe he will give it to you in the right time, and maybe he will give it to you when you’ve asked him for it. God knows what’s best for us, he says “Be!” And it shall be. 🤍

...See more The older I get, the more I realise that people’s actions usually make sense once you know enough of their story. We rarely react to just the moment we’re in, we react to everything that came before it. Sometimes one experience can quietly shape the way we see ourselves, other people, and the world for years without us even noticing. Has there ever been a time when learning someone’s story completely changed the way you saw them?

Not Particularly Mindful.

 January 18th
...See more Since joining 7 Cups I've noticed that I've not been as mindful as usual. Take today as an example, returned from my daily sabbatical in the gym and had lunch then checked into 7 Cups, responded to notifications, completed the first step in the Way of the River series as intended then completed my daily journal and steps. This has lead to me impulsively starting the 'Acceptance and Commitment' series and today's step has lead to Googling 'Ikigai', where has the time gone ?

...See more Not every season will be loud. Sometimes, growth happens in quiet spaces when no one is watching, when nothing seems exciting, when all you have is discipline and faith. Don’t rush to be seen. Learn to move in silence. The ones who go far are those who master the art of patience, privacy, and peace.

Learning mindfulness

...See more Welcome all who want to learn mindfulness , how to practice it,  master it , live it.  😊

The Mindfulness Center welcomes you to a place where it is okay to just be, and not worry about 100 things. You can observe nature or your own room, follow your breath going in and out, or be aware of your feet touching the sidewalk as you head home. It is all mindfulness. 

There are no hard and fast rules on how to be mindful, and you do not have to do anything a certain way. There are guidelines to help us stay on the path of mindfulness, like in the Daily Checkins, where team members share insights and tips about mindfulness. You can join in the discussions there, or in any of the forum threads. 

You will also find videos in the resource center that talk about what is mindfulness and guide us on a journey to having an actual experience right now of what it feels like to be free of our “thought train”, as we let ourselves go and relax a bit. If all of this sounds good, join us for hosted sessions in which you can discuss and experience mindfulness first hand. 

If you like to join the Mindfulness Team apply here:

And see the latest schedule of mindfulness sessions: 

 

Community Guidelines

Stop and breath. Respect yourself and have compassion for what you are going through. 

Notice what is happening around you that your senses are telling you. Feel the breath go in and go out.

Feel good about yourself. Life has brought you on a journey up to here. That is reason to celebrate and appreciate all that life offers. And listen and feel the breath!

Read the 7 Cups Guidelines
