Simply put, mindfulness is moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness.

Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy.

"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.

"What is my job on the planet?" is one question we might do well to ask ourselves over and over again. Otherwise, we may wind up doing somebody else's job and not even know it. And what's more, that somebody else might be a figment of our own imagination, and maybe a prisoner of it as well.

The Zen people from Ancient China, "When you're walking, just walk." It turns out to be the hardest thing.

In any given moment we are either practicing mindfulness, or defacto, we are practicing mindlessness.

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. All ethics and morality, and a sense of interconnectedness, come out of the act of paying attention.
