Mindfulness is a quality of awareness fueled by intentionality to know the nature of things as they truly are.
Step back and observe. How does the situation want us to respond?
Turn “ON” the switch- ‘OBSERVE’ & ‘NOTE’ your thoughts & feelings- bringing greater sensitivity to things as they are.
Sit. Be still & quiet. Allow the heart to open and the mind to become clear. Let this be our everyday practice.
To live fully this adventure we call ‘life’, we must be committed and present, with a compassionately open & receptive quality of attention.
On ‘autopilot’ we may arrive successfully at our destination, but we often miss so much detail along the way…
The right amount of effort… and the right amount of concentration- balanced and relaxed. Here lies the wisdom of equanimity.
We tend to be less reactive toward another when we feel understood and connected.
Within our hearts, we all need to be accepted… to be loved… and to feel secure.
