A line in a meditation prayer I love says: "May I live with ease". What does it actually mean? The definition of "ease" is 'Absence of difficulty or effort'. So? What difficulty or effort? Does this refer only to material stuff or could it also mean something else? What about making life easier by stopping our continuous, never-ending flow of thoughts that jam our minds? I believe that we voluntarily, although unconsciously, make our lives more difficult than they actually are. Aren't we often creating fictitious situations (usually negative) that do not exist at all? Don't we have a tendency to see a rope as a snake? If we really encounter a snake on our path, we'll deal with it. But if we "think" it is a snake while it's not, we - ourselves - create "dis-ease". Let's give our minds a brake, let's briefly relax and just BE.
