The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

There are many different ways to practice meditation; it's good to experiment until you find one that seems to suit you.

Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

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