Mindfulness is the key to everything, and this is especially true when one approaches the cultural portal known as "middle age." This is when people mindlessly believe that it's normal to get diseases and start to fall apart. But the truth is that midlife is the time when people need to wake up and be far more mindful about their everyday habits and thinking patterns.

Loving everything about yourself - even the 'unacceptable' - is an act of personal power. It is the beginning of healing.

Our inner guidance comes to us through our feelings and body wisdom first -- not through intellectual understanding.

By becoming mindful of our cultural programming, we can step out of it.

To get to forgiveness, we first have to work through the painful experiences that require it.

A grudge is like a cesspool; forgiveness like a flowing river.

Our own body is the best health system we have-if we know how to listen to it.
