I must cultivate stillness, one-pointedness, and clarity, resting contentedly in the luminous purity. This is Right Concentration. ―Jetsun Taranatha Now what, monks, is noble Right Concentration with its supports and requisite conditions?

Guiding light. – Nina

Sedative poetry for meditating
Allow its resignating
In your psyche’
Designed effects: deep breaths n closing eyelids
It’s you and I
Mellow your senses, light candles or incences
Again; return to the breath and remain centred
Clear your mind, it’s only your breath
Vision a bright light, now concentrate on its depth
Breathing like calming ocean tides
These spoken rhymes a guide
To relax or open minds
Sending you to your to splendor
Which is… whatever you desire.

Buddhism and The Dharma: Right Mindfulness — Great Middle Way
The term translated into English as “mindfulness” originates in the Sanskrit term smrti and its Pali counterpart sati, which literally means “that which is remembered”. The primary connotation of the Sanskrit term smrti is “recollection”. Thus, mindfulness implies “remembering to be aware of something or to do something at a designated time”. Five Components of […]

I accidentally took LSD. A non fiction poem. – Nina
Summer night. 2015

I thought it’s “a Zenful day”
/ Vegetarian sushi
No sugar or alcohol just the good stuff and it’s a good day
Happy birthday to my baby, make a wish and get it all
She put a tab on her tongue, I didn’t see it at all
Back at home there was something I missed when kissed…
Perfect timing because I just caught the contact high. oh shit…
I didn’t know what I did, I laid down to go to sleep
One hour later, I’m like ” Hold up ” what’s happening to me…
When I took LSD, my synapses align in perfect timing
A slight redesigning and everything started shining
Something is “definitely” happening is what had crossed my mind
No idea what to expect, so I figured I would unwind
I’ve never done this before now how do I relax?
Something calming to the aura, I walked towards the the bath
I took a shower for an hour and she decided to join me
I think this was a good idea. Warming up, disoriented blissful ointments
Kissing her for a few, then the night sky filled with laughter!
We played like we were kids without a worry, ever after
Apparently we were loud enough to wake the whole block
So we retired to the bedroom to chill cuddle and talk
I wasn’t afraid or ashamed, utterly relaxed
Laying on my back, calming Buddhist tracks
Not high or sober, just something new component
Angels in the sky watching over us at each and every moment
An 8 hour meditation instilled with euphoria infatuation
Into the sky and back, wow. Happy birthday to my baby.
Korean Palaces by Moonlight






One of the cool things about living in Seoul is that you are never too far away from a palace. I mean an actual real life piece of history that you can simply stroll through (during open hours of c…

Journey. – Nina
Life is like a sort of journey
But I have no fixed plans on arrival
No control I depart into unknown
Encircled aura of protection surroundings me
Unafraid, unscathed casting rays of light
Travelling in music and in the subconscious flight
In reality; departing norm and taking many forms
Crossing bridges and borders, water space and time
Luminous calm and ease, feeling the breeze
Feeling the earths magnetic pull and vibrations
Every step takes me “that” much closer
Every moment in each moment leading me to a single moment
Hold it…
A point in time similar to a Destiny
But It’s my own recipe
Law of attractions; I’m creating reactions
Now what’s next for me?
Riding by – Nina :)
Life’s unpredictable / devious and blissful.
The Yin and Yang
I’m riding through and I see and feel everything in every moment
For whatever comes, may come
I simply want to be
Here in existence in these moments, this ride
Watching the world fly by
Or stop in time
I’m riding
Nina
