Mindfulness meditation is the embrace of any and all mind states in awareness, without preferring one to another.

Can you question who you are? And are you comfortable with not knowing?

Even before smart phones and the Internet, we had many ways to distract our selves. Now that's compounded by a factor of trillions.

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

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

Once you have established yourself as a center of love and kindness radiating throughout your being, which amounts to a cradling of yourself in loving kindness and acceptance, you can dwell here indefinitely, drinking at this fount, bathing it in, renewing yourself, nourishing yourself, enlivening yourself. This can be a profoundly healing practice for body and soul.

Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice.
