 Discovering the Mind
We do not need to be afraid of our mind. We can go on a journey of discovery and experiment. Then we are able to play with our mental processes and develop our mental ability in wisdom and compassion. – Martine Batchelor, “Life’s Meditation, Mental Habits, and Creative Imagination “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Fundamental Well-Being
We need to see the primordial potential in all of our experiences in the same way a doctor sees the health and well-being in his patients. If a patient didn’t possess a fundamental well-being, what would be the point of prescribing such antidotes as medicines, exercise, or new diets? – Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, “Free Expression” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 On Not Elevating Oneself
One of the worst kinds of elevation of the self is playing the victim. There are times when we actually are victims, when actual blame is appropriate, but to take on the identity of a victim and be stuck blaming is something else. Surprisingly, it is actually a subtle form of elevation–I’m not responsible, you are. This is giving up all freedom. I think the reason that remarkable stories of forgiveness take our breath away is that we instantly feel the liberation in the lifting of boundaries, the end of separation, of ‘inside’ and ‘outside.’ – Nancy Baker, “The Seventh Zen Precept” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Be honestly and unapologetically you. Because you being uniquely you will allow the people you interact with to feel comfortable being uniquely them – perhaps for the first time in their lives. There is no more authentic way to connect and no greater gift to give.

 “Meditative states are not important in themselves. Meditation is a way to quiet the mind so you can practice all daylong wherever you are; see when there is grasping or aversion, clinging or suffering; and then let it go. What’s left is enlightenment, always found here and now, a release of identification with the changing conditions of the world,a resting in awareness. This involves a simple yet profound shift of identity from the myriad, ever-changing conditioned states to the unconditioned consciousness–the awareness which knows them all.

 Training the mind and heart in our everyday lives is one way we can bring greater sanity, greater peace to the world. We also can step away from the busy-ness of our world to go deeply into the great potential of the mind, to develop the capacities that are inherently there to be kind and aware. This can happen for anyone, at any age, in any situation. Why not be a Buddha now?
