 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

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. |

 The Free Flowing Mind
If the mind congeals in one place and remains with one thing, it is like frozen water and is unable to be used freely: ice that can wash neither hands nor feet. When the mind is melted and is used like water, extending throughout the body, it can be sent wherever one wants to send it. – Takuan Soho, “The Right Mind and the Confused Mind” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 It costs so much to be
a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price. One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a stubborn will in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying. –Morris West Australian novelist – Morris WestAustralian novelist Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Gate of Not-Okay
The only thing that can make us uncomfortable with being alone is not liking who we are. That’s what we do when we face the wall: we face who we are. Being okay with however that arises is the most compassion and the most honesty you can ever offer yourself–to just accept yourself as you are. Even if you don’t like it, that’s okay, because not-okay is always a practice gate. We can always include what we don’t like in ourselves. But letting go of worrying about having to become perfect: that’s a gift that we give to ourselves. – Merle Kodo Boyd, “Okay As It Is, Okay As You Are” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
