Intelligence is the door to freedom and alert attention is the mother of intelligence.

Meditation is not about feeling a certain way. It's about feeling the way you feel.

When awareness embraces the senses, it enlivens them.

Practice sharing the fullness of your being, your best self, your enthusiasm, your vitality, your spirit, your trust, your openness, above all, your presence. Share it with yourself, with your family, with the world.

Note that this journey is uniquely yours, no one else's. So the path has to be your own. You cannot imitate somebody else's journey and still be true to yourself. Are you prepared to honor your uniqueness in this way?

If we hope to go anywhere or develop ourselves in any way, we can only step from where we are standing. If we don't really know where we are standing... We may only go in circles.

Mindfulness is not about getting anywhere else.
