Some great books to read!

Many of you have asked for books that I have mentioned on some of the podcasts that have inspired me and helped guide me on my path of awakening and learning, so I thought I would share some of these and help the podcast out a little as well. Today I became an Amazon Associate and created a widget to put on the blog. The Amazon widget that I’m adding to the blog only has content that I myself have read, watched, or listened too personally and that I recommend. This is not just a randomly generated list created by Amazon… it’s AQM approved! I select each item myself then create the list and add it to the blog. When you click on the links and buy a book, recording, or video not only are you getting helpful and inspiring information to use on your path, but you help keep A Quiet Mind operating and available to it’s listeners free of charge. So each time you but something via Amazon.com you are supporting us and making a difference not only in your own life but the lives of all our listeners. Thank you all for your continued support!

Receive, embrace, transform

We clean out our mental closets and receive, embrace and transform our old dusty ways. In our continuing series on “Why we use drugs and alcohol to feel good” in this podcast we receive, embrace and transform our old ways into new ways. Yes you can teach an old Bodhisattva new tricks.

It’s not my fault that I do drugs and alcohol!

Right now we are escaping from pain and suffering with the only methods we have at hand and maybe those methods don’t work well for us any longer. By taking responsibility for our own lives and looking deeper into our actions and reactions, many things become clearer and less confusing. The realization that no one else is responsible or to blame for our transgressions is true freedom. As we look deeper into why we do what we do, we can see very simply that no one else is at fault and most importantly, neither are we. As we practice patience and no longer condemn or judge ourselves, we begin to see another way to live and this life is free from pain and suffering. When we look deeper we gain more insight, wisdom, and compassion and we break the cycles of the past.
