Dandelion Meditation
January 2009
I have often wanted to give back to the community as an act of humility and compassion but have fallen short due to a hectic lifestyle. The hectic lifestyle seems to give rise to a selfish way of living; only taking care of me and my own family’s immediate needs. The sense of individuality or as a family unit increases while the sense of community decreases and global togetherness fades. If we could remember that we (all living creatures) are connected no matter how different or distant then we would act with others’ needs in mind.
In order to give back to the community and encourage more people to act for others and give, I have come up with a small way to promote and contribute towards a more caring state of being. It is my hope that this minute step would be an initial impetus to a productive beginning for kindness, compassion, giving, and sharing to grow like an unstoppable weed - a Dandelion. All we need is one dandelion plant to exist to eventually have a field of those delicate yet persistent white airy puffs to continue spreading wherever the wind takes them. My father told me that “good fortune or luck” is something that is cultivated through our behavior or action which is passed on from one generation to the next. Good fortune or luck is not a mere arbitrary chance or coincidence. It is earned.
Today, I have finally put my endeavor to give back to the community into action. I present to you, Dandelion. caring, acupuncture, meditation, dandelion meditation,
The first Dandelion Acupuncture-Massage Circle was held at the Holistic Wellness Healing Arts Center in St. James on February 1st, 2009, 3-4 pm. The
Dandelion Acupuncture-Meditation Circle uniquely brings together acupuncture and meditation to encourage collective relaxation and healing. Enjoy 1 hour of meditative music and open floor acupuncture treatment. The intent is to bring people together to embrace, cultivate, and share good intentions, compassion, and healing energy. Treatment techniques include ear acupuncture (with or without needles), massage with essential oils, acupressure, and meditative healing. Please feel free to bring what you would need in order to be comfortable (i.e. mat or towel, pillow(s), blanket). Please join me for the acupuncture meditation circle and be a dandelion.
