The remnants of pain left behind by every strong negative emotion that is not fully faced, accepted, and then let go of join together to form an energy field that lives in the very cells of your body.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.

Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before.

Accept the present moment without judgement.

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

Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.

Whatever you do in your daily life - driving from here to there, trying to reach someone on the phone, doing this or that - you always are going toward somewhere. That's inevitable.
