“Its never too late to take a moment to look.”

By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.

Just as a prism refracts light differently when you change its angle, each experience of love illuminates love in new ways, drawing from an infinite palette of patterns and hues.

By engaging in a delusive quest for happiness, we bring only suffering upon ourselves. In our frantic search for something to quench our thirst, we overlook the water all around us and drive ourselves into exile from our own lives.

Letting go is an inside job, something only we can do for ourselves.

Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you’re doing.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

Once we are honest about our feelings, we can invite ourselves to consider alternative modes of viewing our pain and can see that releasing our grip on anger and resentment can actually be an act of self-compassion.

We have the power to improve our work lives immeasurably through awareness, compassion, patience & ingenuity.

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

Like water poured from one vessel to another, metta flows freely, taking the shape of each situation without changing its essence.

We cannot simply forgive and forget, nor should we.

Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self.

Pain & suffering requires time, awareness, and an intentional practice of self-love to disentangle.

Because the development of inner calm & energy happens completely within & 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.

To offer our hearts in faith means recognizing that our hearts are worth something, that we ourselves, in our deepest and truest nature, are of value.

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