Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Good friends, what are meditation and wisdom like? They’re like a lamp and its light. When there’s a lamp, there’s light. When there’s no lamp, there’s no light. The lamp is the light’s body, and light is the lamp’s function. They have two names but not two bodies. This teaching concerning meditation and wisdom is also like this. — Master Huineng (638– 713 CE)

How to reset your brain with your breath 🌬️

Most of us #breathe without even noticing or thinking about it, but with each inhalation and exhalation we have the ability to change the way we think and feel.

Living with a chronic illness that no one can see, yet constantly feeling its presence through the pain in my body, is deeply isolating. Knowing there’s no cure makes it even harder. This weather only adds to the weight of it all, it doesn’t do the struggle justice.

Womens herb 🫶🏻🟰❤️

#LadysMantle is an #herb that has always belonged to women. The old herbalists recognized the power of Venus in this plant, and in England, it earned the nickname 'a woman’s best friend.

And life continues to grow 🥒 I had to bring all my plants in because the weather turned quite chilly with dips down to 4 degreees celcius in the night. And then the rain came, luckily I do have 2 rain barrels. These cucumbers are thirsty 💦💧💚🍃
