The Joy of Just Being - Aimlessness
A Thich Nhat Hanh quote.
"Happiness is possible when you are capable of doing the things and being the things that you want to do and to be. When we walk for the sake of walking, when we sit for the sake of sitting, when we drink tea for the sake of drinking tea, we don’t do it for something or someone else. These things can be very enjoyable. That is the practice of aimlessness. While you do that, you heal yourself and you help heal the world. Awakening means to see that truth—that you want to know how to enjoy, how to live deeply, in a very simple way. You don’t want to waste your time anymore. Cherish the time that you are given."
You Know Aimlessness
We all have experienced the peace and happiness while being aimless. Reflect back to the last bell of the many meditations we've done. How many times did you not want the moment to end? You felt so good, so complete. You didn't have a want or need to be filled. There wasn't a need or desire to chase something, to complete something. Everything you needed and wanted was right there in the moment. In that moment, you were Being without effort and you were just as you are. Nothing more and nothing less. You were sitting in Aimlessness.

We inter-are with the sun,
Let's Interbe in the Here and Now
Early in the mediation, it's important to generate and be aware of your happiness.
Be aware of the wonder of life.
Offering yourself a Smile.
Appreciate how much time has passed since the beginning of the Earth until this moment. Wow, you're here!
You are responsible to know the way / approach to generate your happiness.

Deep-Slow
Be sure to recognize moments of enjoying your breath. Smile
Calming my body - Easing Tension in my body
Calm - Ease
Appreciate and Enjoy your body and what it offers you.
Aware of my Body - Unconditionally Loving my Entire Body
If you're doing this correctly, you'll feel love easily flowing everywhere within the body and breath. If you feel a blockage,
then breathe in that area - breathe out an offering smile to that area.
The unconditional love will be flow in.
Aware of Love in me - Let the love flow into the Earth
Feel how the Earth is cradling you.
Be grateful for the minerals within you.
Be happy that you will return those minerals to the Earth.
Let yourself expand into the interbeing with the Earth.
As I breathe in, I feel the Love filling me - As I breath out, I let the love flow into the air.
Let yourself expand into the interbeing with the air.
As I breathe in, I smile to the clouds within me. - As I breathe out, I feel the cloud's freedom from floating.
Let yourself expand into the interbeing with the cloud.
I am aware of my in breathe. - I feel how I am more than this body.
I am the beauty of interbeing. - I am home.
