Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

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

Meditation is simply about being yourself and know about who that is.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

In Asian languages, the word for mind and the word for heart are the same word.

No one can listen to your body for you... To grow and heal, you have to take responsibility for listening to it yourself.

Concentration is a cornerstone of mindfulness practice. Your mindfulness will only be as robust as the capacity of your mind to be calm and stable. Without calmness, the mirror of mindfulness will have an agitated and choppy surface and will not be able to reflect things with any accuracy.
