Heartfelt Advice
When we are deeply involved in the practice of the Buddha dharma, the sages advise that we practice a common sense of balance by learning to structure our mundane activities and dharma practice in ways that allow us success in both areas of our life. We should not fall into extremes, either of procrastinating in our dharma practice with the excuse of mundane distractions, or of allowing our mundane world to fall apart around us due to an overemphasis on dharma practice which ignores our mundane responsibilities. – Lama Dudjom Dorjee, “Heartfelt Advice” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Wisdom at Work
The desire to know something is wisdom at work. Being mindful is not difficult. But it’s difficult to be continuously aware. For that you need right effort. But it does not require a great deal of energy. It’s relaxed perseverance in reminding yourself to be aware. When you are aware, wisdom unfolds naturally, and there is still more interest. – Sayadaw U Tejaniya, “The Wise Investigator” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Nothing is going to change until you learn to direct attention away from the voices of egocentric karmic conditioning/self-hate and direct attention to thisherenow. Turn the attention to where you want it and keep it there. That’s the number one priority. If you were a major league baseball pitcher you would need to be able to focus on pitching the baseball. Everything else would come in a distant second.

On Finding Each Other
We humans have a way of touching each other’s lives deeply even despite ourselves. In finding our way to each other, we find what is, after all, already there, waiting to be found, wanting to be found. – Andrew Cooper, “Life’s Hidden Support” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Turn Meditation into Action
Don’t confuse training with trying: Meditation to develop compassion is not actually being compassionate to others. If you want to weaken your self-centeredness, go on and meditate, but don’t stop there. Take compassionate action. – Sallie Tisdale, “Self-Care for Future Corpses” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Free hearts rock boats, break rules, do things that disrupt the system–whether that system is a dysfunctional family, a bloated bureaucracy, or the whole wide world.

Today, look upon your life, your bank account, your family, each person you meet, as a wild horse. If a problem looks difficult, relax. If it looks impossible, relax even more. Then begin encouraging small changes, putting just enough pressure on yourself to move one turtle step forward. Then rest, savor, celebrate. Then step again. You’ll find that slow is fast, gentle is powerful, and stillness moves mountains.

Goals
Gratitude, loving kindness and forgiveness are the true foundations for a life of love and happiness. As you will see in a later chapter, these contribute vastly to inner peace, tranquility and equanimity. These qualities purify your heart and mind and promote beneficial hormones in your brain. These are some things to strive for and meditate upon on a daily basis. When gratitude, loving kindness and forgiveness are in place, it is much, much easier to accomplish your goals, whatever they might be. – Jerome Freedman, Mindfulness Breaks: Your Path to Awakening Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Money Mind
By learning to let go of personal biases, we can understand and acknowledge that money is neither for us nor against us. Money can be seen more simply, as a form of energy that comes and goes. Our path then is to join our meditative practice and insight with our everyday situations, to learn to ride this powerful energy, instead of being ridden by it. – Daniel Naistadt, “The Money Mind” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

A love we can lose is not love. A clearer way to depict that is, “A love we can lose is not LOVE.” If we don’t have Unconditional Love, we don’t have love at all. Are we likely to receive Unconditional Love from another human being? No. Much as we might try, Unconditional Love is challenging for humans to get to. Which brings us to what the Buddha encouraged us to consider: Only we can find Unconditional Love, in and for ourselves. When we have that, when we know the LOVE that IS, we know that’s what we are and what everything is. We have what we’ve been seeking and what has been seeking us. Receiving that, we know that LOVE is all there is. We couldn’t lose it if we tried!
