Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.

Body awareness not only anchors you in the present moment, it is a doorway out of the prison that is the ego. It also strengthens the immune system and the body’s ability to heal itself.

Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.

The future never comes. Life is always now.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too

Awareness and ego cannot coexist.

If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything.
