Allow your attention to gently alight on your belly, as if you were coming upon a shy animal sunning itself on a tree stump in a clearing in the forest. Feel your belly rise or expand gently on the inbreath, and fall or recede on the outbreath.

We take care of the future best by taking care of the present now.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

Awareness Is Not The Same As ThoughtMore Like A Vessel Which Can Hold And Contain Our Thinking

So, in meditation practice, the best way to get somewhere is to let go of trying to get anywhere at all.

You are only here now; you're only alive in this moment.

We call the effort to cultivate our ability to be in the present moment ‘practice’ or ‘meditation practice.’
