Just stopping, is a radical act of sanity and love.

This is something called "walking meditation." The goal is to learn to be aware of each and every movement and feeling. I know it seems ridiculous, but it does change the way you experience walking.

"Resting in awareness" is one of those phrases used a lot by people who practice mindfulness. But when I tried to do it, it wasn't restful and I worried I wasn't doing it right. I kept thinking about work.

Sometimes shutting off the sound on the television can allow you to actually watch the game and take it in in an entirely different and more direct way - a first-order, first-person experience - rather than filtered through the mind of another.

The funny thing about stopping is that as soon as you do it, here you are.

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

Make a list of what is really important to you. Embody it.
