Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.

Every day seems to reveal a new piece of research about meditation, or new clinical applications of mindfulness or compassion practice, or new corporations or foundations or non-profits bringing mindfulness to work.

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

Faith is not a commodity we either have or don't have-it is an inner quality that unfolds as we learn to trust our own deepest experience.

The first step on the journey of faith is to recognize that everything is moving onward to something else, inside us and outside... We see that a self-image we've been holding doesn't need to define us forever, the next step is not the last step, what life was is not what it is now, and certainly not what it might yet be.
