Over the years, I am finding it interesting that I can sense viruses and bacteria in my system in those times then they having a go at me, they have a subtle influence, that shows up in their affect over my states of consciousness, and if I work out their attack and subtle influence in my energetic field, by creating a mental and psycho-emotional shield, then their defeat is not that far away.

I am finding over the years that people who traumatised me with their behaviours are like giving me psycho-emotional-spiritual puzzles to solve. It will bother me and I am carrying it so far if it remains unsolved, but once I find a solution, work out that puzzle, I am free from that thing in my field, and the solution in turn is an update to my system as well 🧩🦅

Mindful cleaning 🧹 ✨

​The practice of mindful cleaning came to me many years ago, back when I was working in a hotel and cleaning rooms. At the time, the essence of mindful cleaning was captured in a simple phrase: "Do everything with love." My mother told me these words, explaining that my grandfather had said them to her. For example, "Wash the dishes with love." So, in an effort to follow my grandfather's instructions, passed down by my mother, I began to do everything with love.
​Since I already had professional cleaning skills at the time, it wasn't hard for me to have a free mind while cleaning rooms and to direct that mind toward the effort of cleaning with love. Everyone liked how I worked: supervisors liked that I completed tasks well and on time, and my coworkers liked that I helped and supported them. This was the foundation on which I began to practice love in action. Of course, in addition to work, I also practiced while cleaning my own home. I also meditated on love, sending good wishes to the whole world and to all beings every morning.

​Cleaning with love isn't that difficult. You just have to be able to show love in this simple act. For example, some nuns and monks in the Christian tradition had a practice of washing dishes as if they were bathing the baby Jesus Christ. They would ask themselves, "If I were bathing the baby Jesus Christ right now, how would I do it? Of course, I would do it carefully, with love, tenderness, and care, being aware of every action I take toward the baby Jesus." That's how they would wash dishes or clean - as if they were caring for the body of the baby Jesus.

​I began to practice in a similar way.
​"How can I show love in my act of cleaning?" By asking this question, I gradually began to manifest love. Since the daily practice of cultivating loving-kindness was growing in me, it wasn't hard to summon that feeling of goodwill. And once I had summoned that goodwill, I needed to apply it in action. At that moment, that action was cleaning. Perhaps in another text, I'll talk about other actions with goodwill.

​So, as I trained, I began to realize that when my hand touched something while wiping or holding an object, I had to focus my mind so that the touch was done with love. And gradually, with practice, I got better and better at it. The moment I touched, wiped, or held an object - for example, while wiping the floor with a mop - love would arise in me; I would do the action with love and try to sustain it as much as possible. When cleaning with love, two aspects of love can mainly arise: one is goodwill, which is the opposite of aversion, and the other is joy, which is the opposite of sluggishness and sadness. So, with goodwill and joy, I performed my tasks carefully, without aversion, with enthusiasm and energy, which yielded very fruitful internal and external results. Internally, I felt wonderful during and after cleaning. Externally, I did my job productively and well.

​I finished my work cleaning hotel rooms many years ago, but I continued the practice of cleaning with love. And now, every time I clean - whether I'm washing dishes, dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, cleaning the car, or even doing laundry, hanging, and folding clothes - I continue to do it with love. And these simple activities bring me positive emotions and help me focus my mind.

A Mindful Morning ~ from 2010 writings

After connecting with my breath, an intention arose in my mind to get out of bed. This intention belongs to the category of Mental Formations. I became aware of the intention: "I want to get out of bed." The intention was followed by a physical action - the body's movements. From a lying position, the body shifted to a sitting position. I was aware that the body was first lying down, then a movement occurred, and the body sat up. As my feet touched the floor, I became aware of the sensations that arose from the contact. After the body moved and transitioned from a sitting to a standing position, I was aware that the body was standing, and my feet were touching the floor, and I felt the pressure of that contact.

Next, I went to the kitchen and filled the kettle with water, all the while being aware of the sensations that arose from touching the kettle, from touching the faucet, the movement of my hands, and the water being filled. I turned on the kettle, warmed the water slightly, took out some salt, and mixed a spoonful of salt with the warm water in a mug. Then I went to the bathroom and gargled my throat and rinsed my nose with the warm salt water, aware that I was holding the cup, walking to the bathroom, gargling, standing, feeling the floor with my feet, and gargling again. Then I took my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it, aware of my hand touching the brush and the pressure on the toothpaste tube. I brushed my teeth, aware of the movements of my hand and the sensations that arose from the brush touching my teeth and gums. Then I took a towel, feeling and being aware: I am touching and taking the towel. Stepping into the shower, I was aware of my feet touching the floor. Turning on the shower, I became aware of the sensations of the water and my body making contact. And, taking the soap, I was aware: I have taken it, I am lathering up, I was aware of the sensations that arose from lathering my body, and the movements of my hands. I rinsed the soap off with water and stood for a little while, aware of the pleasant sensations that arose from the warm water touching my body. Then I turned off the water and got out of the shower. I took the towel and began to dry myself, aware of the sensations that arose from the towel touching my body and the movements of my hands while drying.

After getting dressed and leaving the bathroom, I went to my room, aware of myself: getting dressed, walking. Upon entering the room, I lit a round candle with a prayer in my mind: "May all beings be happy. May all be well." Next, I took out incense and lit it from the candle with a prayer in my mind: "May all beings be happy. May they have no cause for suffering, and may they have causes for happiness, love, and all that is most beautiful." All the while, I was aware: I am touching the matches, I am lighting it, I was aware of the movements of my hands and the smell. Then I unrolled a mat, aware of this: I am unrolling. Then I sat on the mat and prepared for a seated meditation practice. First, I became aware of my body's position: I am sitting; then the sensations of my body touching the floor; then my whole body, part by part: legs, arms, torso, neck, head. And, having relaxed the individual parts and my entire body, I sent a well-wishing to all beings: "May all beings be happy in front, behind, above, below, and in all directions. May all be well."
This time, I decided to meditate on the breath.

Mindfulness of waking up in the morning.

When I wake up, my sleeping consciousness shifts to "wake up" consciousness, and I become aware of it - I realise that "wake up" has arisen. Then, awareness of my body arises. I am lying down, and I start to become aware of the series of sensations that arise from the contact between my body and the bed, my body and the blanket, as well as the internal sensations in my legs, arms, torso, and head. After becoming fully and overall aware of my body - my lying position, the sensations all over my body that are arising from contact with tactile objects, and the internal sensations in my body - I start to become aware of my breathing. Breathing is always with us; you just need to pay attention to it. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.

It's possible to divide human experience into five groups: Body, Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations, and Consciousness.

As can be seen from my experience described above, first I became aware of Consciousness- "wake up"; then Body- "lying position"; then Feeling - sensations in the body, both internal and from contact with tactile objects; and then Body again - breathing.

You can also identify four body postures that are worth being aware of: standing, lying, sitting, and walking, to which you can add the transitional postures between the four main ones. So, after waking up, I became aware that my body was lying down.

Walking Meditation

​When I walk, I become aware of the sensations of my steps: the sensation of my right foot touching the ground and the sensation of my left foot touching the ground. Just as when I inhale, I mentally note, "Inhale," and when I exhale, I mentally note, "Exhale" - in the same way, when I step with my right foot, I note, "Right," and when I step with my left foot, I note, "Left." Right, left, right, left. And so I walk at a moderate pace, aware of my steps. After some time, I stop noting "Right, left" and simply feel the steps as my feet touch the ground.

​While walking, I also become aware of the breeze of air and the warmth of the sun. When I look at the trees and clouds, the road and the cars, I become aware of my visual perceptions. As I inhale and exhale the air, I become aware of my bodily sensations. When I hear sounds, I become aware that auditory consciousness has arisen. This is how I observe all the sense doors, with all the sensory spheres of experience: Body, Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations, Consciousness.

​Eyes, visual objects, and consciousness of visual objects.
​Ears, sound, and consciousness of sound.
​Nose, smell, and consciousness of smell.
​Tongue, taste, and consciousness of taste.
​Body, tactile objects, and consciousness of tactile objects.
​Mind, mental objects, and consciousness of mental objects.
​
​My primary focus is the step, and I am aware of the step. When something else arises - a breeze of air, the warmth of the sun, the sounds of birds, the sounds of cars, different smells - I become aware of that as well, but as a secondary object. Then I return to being aware of my step. Through this practice, my mind becomes clear, stays focused, is bright, open, and joyful. Spaciousness appears in my mind, and beautiful thoughts arise.

From my writing on mindfulness in daily living, 2010

Mindful Breakfast

First, I began preparing breakfast, being aware of my hands touching the oatmeal bag and the movements of my body: standing, walking, carrying, pouring. And everywhere I was aware of the sensations: touching, touching, touching. I cooked oatmeal, put raisins in it, added a spoon of honey, and also other products, poured rice milk over it all, and added a little yogurt. I sat down at the table. Inhale, exhale. And I prayed in my mind: "May the world be well. May all beings be happy throughout the entire Universe."

Next, I looked at my breakfast. Remembering the millions of people in the world who don't have the opportunity to eat like I do, I was happy that I had this breakfast on the table and that I could eat it: "May I feed my body with this breakfast. May it be nourished so that I may have the strength to bring beauty into the world, to change the sad situation on the planet where people are starving. May I use this strength, gained from food, for the good of the world."

Then I focused on the process of eating. I put a spoon of food in my mouth and began to chew. I became aware: I see the breakfast, I smell the aroma, I was aware of the sensations from the contact of the food and my mouth, the movement of my hand, the chewing. Mostly, I was focused on chewing. My grandfather used to say that you should chew your food until it is finely ground so that the stomach has less work. So I focused and was aware of the chewing and the taste of the food: sweet, chewing, chewing. After eating the entire breakfast, I got up, went to the kitchen, and began washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

Awareness of Breathing

Breath awareness is beautifully described in Thich Nhat Hanh’s gatha:
“Breathing in, I calm my body.
Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment,
I know this is a wonderful moment.”

The simple awareness of the breath exercise: noticing and being aware of inhale and exhale. When an inhale arises, I notice: Inhale. When an exhale arises, I notice: Exhale. If the mind is still developing concentration, I use supportive methods — mental notes, naming what is happening. Breathing in: inhaling. Breathing out: exhaling. This helps focus the mind instead of letting it drift. If the mind is scattered or distracted, it is useful to keep noting, and once the mind becomes more concentrated, to return to the direct experience of breathing.

People know the world through six sense doors:
Eyes, visual object, awareness of the object (seeing)
Ears, sound, awareness of sound (hearing)
Nose, smell, awareness of smell (smelling)
Tongue, taste, awareness of taste (tasting)
Body, tactile object and inner sensations, awareness (sensing)
Mind, mental object, awareness of thoughts, memories, feelings, states (thinking)

When noticing the breath, this is body-consciousness — awareness of bodily sensations of breathing. When distracted, mental consciousness arises — thinking. To focus, I note: inhale, exhale. Awareness could be general (whole-body sensations of breathing), abdominal (rising and falling of the belly), and nostrils (airflow sensations).

Gradually, the body relaxes and becomes calmer. I notice how breathing brings more calmness to the body. As the body calms, so does the mind. Then there is no need for verbal notes anymore — just awareness of calmness. Inhale, exhale, peace. Body at peace, mind at peace. Then the mind becomes clearer, stronger, more focused, and happier.

This practice can last 15, 20, 30, 40 minutes or an hour — as time allows.

Finishing meditation, I return to awareness of the body, sensations, posture: sitting, touching the floor. I do some loving-kindness: “May all beings be happy in all directions. May all be well.” I thank all spiritual teachers. Then I stand up mindfully and carry on that generated mindfulness into my daily activities.

Sometimes I think how can I express some experiences in writing. This is one of them.

I finding it interesting how I can shift the experience of the experience. I usually use two tools, analysis and feeling into it. Both tools limited in the focus of reference because they dwell around the subject of experience within the experience itself as the frame of reference. They are creating a cicle of experience around that subject, which is a reference point. Whereas to be able to experience beyond the subject and frame of reference, I need to shift the experience itself by counter-evaluate it against different reference point that will allow them to shine a different light onto the topic.

For example, if subject is someone behaviour. Analysis and feeling into behaviour to understand it better might bring outcome of understanding and better perception. While if to shift the experience of behaviour via counter-connecting it with experience of associated highee, lower, reversed, opposite behaviours might bring about a bigger picture perspective. And consequently, shift the experience of the experience as well.
