Just stopping, is a radical act of sanity and love.

Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy.

There are a lot of different ways to talk about mindfulness, but what it really means is awareness.

Voluntary simplicity means going fewer places in one day rather than more, seeing less so I can see more, doing less so I can do more, acquiring less so I can have more.

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

Look at other people and ask yourself if you are really seeing them or just your thoughts about them Without knowing it, we are coloring everything, putting our spin on it all.

When you pay attention to boredom it gets unbelievably interesting.

Arriving someplace more desirable at some future time is an illusion. This is it.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will have to admit that we live out our lives in an ocean of fear.

Practice moment to moment non-judgemental awareness.

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.
