Through awareness training, we can simply observe our mental states as they arise, peak, and pass away. Experience with mindfulness practice can teach us that they are impermanent and ‘empty’, with only the energy of attention that we feed them. As we become more aware of our everyday mental states- simply witnessing & noticing them- letting be & letting go with ‘observational distance‘- we can learn to better regulate our impulsive tendencies for mindless words and/or unskillful actions that may arise from them.

The art of noticing…

The art of letting go…
