 Be Consistent, Not Insistent
To keep your practice consistent, remember what the famous Nike ad says: “Just do it.” Don’t concern yourself with trying to get to some particular place or state of mind. Each day’s zazen will be a little different, just like the rest of life. – Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara, “An Introduction to Zen” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 A New Year’s Resolution
I intend to cultivate equanimity and balance–not to panic when things appear to be off track, and not to relax when everything seems to be going smoothly. I intend to cultivate awareness and presence and not focus too hard on the outcome–paying more attention to the process and developing understanding and sympathy for myself and others. – David Nichtern, “A New Year’s Resolution to Consider “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
