i have some prayer suggestions if you do all of them it will be really effective they are for the day so it is best to do them in the morning
i pray that i will do as much as possible as redgreenvines thinks I most should do the whole today if that would be preferable I pray that all i do today will be what redgreenvines thinks I most should do all today if that would be preferable and same for all there will be today (those two (prayers)) same for all there will happen and same for what it will be and that it will be as close as possible to being it all time it won't be it if that would be preferable I pray that I will do of as high a quality as possible all I will do something today and that I will do of as high a quality as possible all today and same for all there will be today
if you pay attention you can notice the benefit from it during the day

I have no such suggestion about doing as much as possible, my approach is always the middle way. that is not as much as possible, it is just as much as suitable, and I prefer not being invoked on all your revelations. they are your own ideas, not mine.

To frame it as a prayer kind of paints RGV as a god, or idol that you are worshipping.
"I can be my own guru by being patient, humble, kind and considerate to myself and others. I will do the best I can today and that will be good enough."
"I'm glad to have friends who can give me advice and I want them to know they are appreciated."

Thanks for being alive RGV, glad we get to whiff your musings, thanks for your clear, no-frills approach to discussing the abstract.
Never ceases to amaze me the patience and tact with which you communicate with such a wide range of internet homers, thanks mang!!

Spontaneous appreciation makes the medicine go down easier, that's for sure. I hope Pinky gets the world peace thing sorted out before Israel goes poof!.

to feel the morphing textures of one's breathing by following along chillfully with awareness as in connection to one's awake-&-dreaming mind but with respect to truthfulness.

Maybe if everyone thinks calm thoughts at the same time it'll help

you can follow your heart beat instead, if you can feel it, but following the breath is easier, it is just a step towards observing mental contents without reacting to what you observe. the underlying practice is the mind relaxing and observing its contents in real time, like a mirror.
This provides refuge from emotional pain and from clinging and looping thinking. It also provides depth. It is free, and you have already done it for a few seconds here and there, so it is about accessing it and making it more familiar.

I hadn’t done this for a long time. But I’ve been feeling of deep connection with my spirituality lately. I just thanked whatever. That put me here. For putting me here. It just feels incredible to know what I’m supposed to do. To be creating the things. I’ve wanted to be making this whole time. Just not having to suffer the way I was. It’s been really refreshing.
I just laid in the darkness. Didn’t have to do anything except just think it. Just to know that they would be able to listen if they wanted to. Just to to pay my honest thanks and respect. Felt really good. I said, amen. Just because I was around religious people.
