“Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror. The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our 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.

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

When we learn to respond to disappointments with acceptance, we give ourselves the space to realize that all our experiences—good and bad alike—are opportunities to learn and grow.

Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.

To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.

To succeed in life and achieve results, you must understand and master three mighty forces – desire, belief, and expectation.

There is quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life, and there is no need for meeting it unnecessarily in fiction.

Knowing your deepest intention can be your guiding force in the creation of a better life.

A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity.
