Breathing is central to every aspect of meditation training. It's a wonderful place to focus in training the mind to be calm and concentrated.

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

The real meditation is how you live your life.

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.

Paying attention and awareness are universal capacities of human beings.

Perhaps the most "spiritual" thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.

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