A Walk In The Wood Meditations On Mindfulness With A Bear Named Pooh

 

 

Once upon a time, many of us have been introduced to beloved Pooh Bear. It is time to begin a most heart-warming Mindfulness Walk in the 100 Acre Wood. Pooh Bear is a gentle soul with a forthright and yet simple look at life. Pooh lives a daily practice of being mindful who he is, what he thinks, he sees, touches, hears, touches, and tastes. His sixth sense of feelings is also alive and well. Pooh’s daily interaction with life connects him with the Moment, the ever-present gift of space and time to appreciate being Here in the perennial moment of Now. Although it takes lots of practice, amid the distractions, demands, and responsibilities of which we are aware and are integral to our life experience, it is always worth it to attune for a short or extended moment. In so doing, we are privileged to discover the sweet pace of ease, multi-hued vistas of vision, natural order, wondrous mystery, and bountiful flow life reveals for us—if we choose to pay attention.

To awake, walk, connect, be kind, appreciate, and honor the day in a mindful
manner opens the heart, clears the mind, and enrichens the being we are all here to discover and share. The stories within this treatise will humble, quiet, and center you. You will understand why Pooh is also a Buddha Bear, as he shares one of his favorite sayings:

“The Past is History,
The Future’s a Mystery,
Being Here and Now is a precious gift.
That’s why they call it the Present.”
