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?

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

There are certain ways in which I cultivate awareness, both through mindful yoga and taking care of my body and taking time to actually drop as deeply as possible into stillness, into whatever is unfolding in the present moment.

The only time that any of us have to grow or change or feel or learn anything is in the present moment. But we're continually missing our present moments, almost willfully, by not paying attention.

Intelligence is the door to freedom and alert attention is the mother of intelligence.

Mindfulness is so powerful that the fact that it comes out of Buddhism is irrelevant.

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