 So, beginning again: your attention will go somewhere eventually, one breath, two breaths, ten breaths later. It will go to the past, it will go to the future, judgment, speculation, somewhere. And that is an extraordinary moment when we realize we’ve been gone because that truly is an opportunity to be very different… we practice letting go, we practice starting over, we practice beginning again out of very great compassion and kindness. That’s actually quite radical.

 No Past, No Future, Only This
There is nothing other than this present moment; there is no past, there is no future; there is nothing but this. So when we don’t pay attention to each little this, we miss the whole thing. – Charlotte Joko Beck, “Attention Means Attention “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Heroes aren’t free from fear; they’re just so focused on a worthy goal that they feel they can’t turn back. Most of humankind’s great achievements–the sorts of things that make us say, “Oh, wow!”–were accomplished by people who were muttering or shouting, “Oh, sh*t!” Heroes don’t feel special, just dogged. They walk their scary paths with shaky knees and trembling hands. One shaky, trembling step at a time.

 What Happens When We Stay Present During Terrible Times?
The hard truth is, terrible things happen in life that we can’t control, and somehow we do bear them. We bear witness to them. When we do so with the fullness of our bodies, minds, and hearts, often a loving action emerges. – Frank Ostaseski, “Washing My Boy’s Body” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 In Zen we hear, “The only thing that is born and the only thing that dies is the ego.” We know that the ego is an illusion, a conglomerate of processes that appear real but are not. So, the only thing that is born and that dies is an illusion of being separate from Life, which does not die and is not born.

 What’s at the Root of Happiness?
It takes some training to equate complete letting go with comfort. But in fact, “nothing to hold on to” is the root of happiness. There’s a sense of freedom when we accept that we’re not in control. – Pema Chödrön, “The In-between State” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
