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

Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now.

You could think of mindfulness as wise and affectionate attention.

It's okay that the mind drifts away but you just bring it back.

Another way to look at meditation is to view thinking itself as a waterfall, a cascading of thought. In cultivating mindfulness, we are going beyond or behind our thinking, much the way you might find a vantage point in a cave or depression in the rock behind a waterfall. We still see and hear the water, but we are out of the torrent.

The real meditation is how you live your life.
