Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.

I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

By prizing heartfulness above faultlessness, we may reap more from our effort because we're more likely to be changed by it.

The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy.

The quality of mindfulness does not just know something is happening - e.g. there is an emotion, a sensation - but knows without clinging or condemning.

It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.

We find greater lightness & ease in our lives as we increasingly care for ourselves & other beings.
