Meditation

River initiated mediation tonight. She was very hyper. She was very excited to show daddy her dharma envelope with the conch symbol on it that she had made at Kadampa. We read some of the lessons, the first of which was to thank someone for their help and kindness. She excitedly thanked me for my help and kindness. I thanked her for helping me put oil in my car and doing such a good job being in charge of the dipstick.

Daddy asked her to get a book to read. A really nice woman bought River her first Buddhist story. So they sat down together and she promptly crossed her legs, closed her eyes, put one hand on top of the other and began to calm herself down. We all practiced breathing and becoming very quiet for ten whole seconds! Lol. We talked about many things including beaver tails, trees, where our hearts are in our body, etc.
