Training our mind through meditation does not mean forcibly subjugating it or beating it into shape.

To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.

Because the development of inner calm and energy happens completely within and isn't dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful - and a huge relief.

My experience working with lots of creative people is that they don't lose their artistic edge when they lose a fierce level of anguish. They just create from a different place.

Mindfulness helps us to set boundaries by revealing what makes us unhappy & what brings us peace.

We spend our lives searching for something we think we don't have, something that will make us happy. But the key to our deepest happiness lies in changing our vision of where to seek it.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.
