Our thinking minds deprive us of the happiness that comes when we are living fully in the moment.
Don’t think about the past. Just be here now.
Look past your thoughts, so you may drink the pure nectar of This Moment.
To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.
The habit of spending nearly every waking moment lost in thought leaves us at the mercy of whatever our thoughts happen to be. Meditation is a way of breaking this spell.
Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else. – Don Juan.
Mindfulness is a pause – the space between stimulus and response: that’s where choice lies.
Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as they are.
One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.
Always make new mistakes.
Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom. You don’t have to be swept away by your feeling. You can respond with wisdom and kindness rather than habit and reactivity.
Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.
All the suffering, stress, and addiction comes from not realizing you already are what you are looking for.
Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing.
The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.
Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.
Patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.
Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now.
Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgmentally, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind and the world around you.
