By working on our internal pain, we can be sure not to propagate it all the while becoming caring and benevolent. The human condition is to suffer, and mindfulness is the practice of reducing that suffering. “Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?” – Marcus AureliusĬompassion – Mindfulness allows us to live with empathy which is the seed of compassion. Understanding will enable us to be kind to others as we know that we are all suffering to some degree and it is our purpose to reduce that suffering. Practicing mindfulness allows us to express understanding. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.” – Thich Nhat HanhĮmpathy – We as humans have the innate ability to feel and understand the emotional condition of another. “Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness.

Like deep within the sea, deep within us is a place of stillness that is disrupted by no storms. When we let go, we can live from a place similar to deep under the sea. When we cling to transients our lives become like a ship in a stormy sea. The nature of reality is that everything is transient. Letting Go – The root of suffering is in attachment. With each step, flower blooms.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh “The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. We can recognise the miracle that it is to be alive. We can realise the world for all of its beauty and wonder. By focusing on remaining in this center of consciousness, we can ensure that our efforts will not propagate suffering. We can observe our thoughts and actions along with the feelings and emotions of others. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” – Thich Nhat HanhĪwareness – Mindfulness is an extreme sense of awareness. “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. By cultivating a meditation practice during the first few minutes of your day, you will be more likely to be connected with your true inner self through the day. Usually, some object of meditation is utilised as a focus (Eg. Meditation is the practice of focusing intently on the here and now. Meditation – Like weight training, we must deploy a practice to strengthen our mind toward residing in the present moment. It is the energy of your true presence.” – Thich Nhat Hanh That is why I like to define mindfulness as the energy that helps us to be there 100 percent. That is the essence of true Buddhist meditation.

Being out of the now will affect the richness and quality of your life. If you are continually dwelling on the past or the future, you cannot pay attention to what is. Wattsīe Here Now – The present moment is the only moment that we have. “Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.” – Alan W. Mindfulness is a powerful tool for cultivating this sort of life. As humans, it is our sincerest desire to be at peace with our inner dialogue and to love everyone and everything for the miracles that they are.
