 Beyond the Status Quo
We come to the Buddha-dharma precisely because the suffering we have experienced in the world of relativity forces us to question “conventional” truth and the status quo. – Charles Johnson, “The Dharma of Social Transformation “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Everything is a facet of the one thing. Think in terms of white light shining through a prism to reveal the full spectrum of color perceivable by the human eye: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each of these colors is part of the original whole and cannot be separated from it–turn off the light source and the colors disappear. Now apply this metaphor to the world around and within you. Everything you see, think, feel, and imagine is part of and never apart from the same Source. We call this Source by such names as God, Reality, Brahman, Allah, One, Krishna, the Absolute, and the Nondual. The list of names is long; the reality to which they all point is the same.

 Run the Way You Sit
We experience the gradual awakening to pure awareness that develops over the days, months, and years as we sit. When it comes to exercise, the principle is the same. We let the mind and body go on their own run, noting but not minding at all. – Michael Hoffman, “Mind on the Run” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 As If There is Nothing to Lose
Gratitude, the simple and profound feeling of being thankful, is the foundation of all generosity. I am generous when I believe that right now, right here, in this form and this place, I am myself being given what I need. Generosity requires that we relinquish something, and this is impossible if we are not glad for what we have. Otherwise the giving hand closes into a fist and won’t let go. – Sallie Jiko Tisdale, “As If There is Nothing to Lose” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Humanized Once More
We must realize that modern civilization is thoroughly oriented towards dehumanizing humanity in every possible way; that is to say, we are fast turning into robots or statues with no human souls. Our task is to get humanized once more. – D. T. Suzuki, “Humanized Once More” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Change Your Relationship to Pain
You change your relationship to the pain by opening up to it and paying attention to it. You ‘put out the welcome mat.’ Not because you’re masochistic, but because the pain is there. So you need to understand the nature of the experience and the possibilities for, as the doctors might put it, ‘learning to live with it,’ or, as the Buddhists might put it, ‘liberation from the suffering.’ If you distinguish between pain and suffering, change is possible. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, “At Home in Our Bodies” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Right Pitch
Cultivating skillful effort, we learn to distinguish the ‘right’ amount of effort. Not too little. Not too much. Just right. In tune. When we find the right pitch, our practice flourishes. – Peter Doobinin, “Skillful Effort” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
