Living in a chronic state of unawareness can cause us to miss much of what is most beautiful and meaningful in our lives.

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.

It is remarkable how liberating it feels to be able to see that your thoughts are just thoughts and that they are not 'you' or 'reality.' For instance, if you have the thought that you have to get a certain number of things done today and you don't recognize it as a thought but act as if it's the 'the truth,' then you have created a reality in that moment in which you really believe that those things must all be done today.

Meditation is really a non-doing. It is the only human endeavor I know of being where you already are.

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

There are a lot of different ways to talk about mindfulness, but what it really means is awareness.

Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.
