“Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.”

Mini Mindfulness Break for March 07, 2020
Growing through Pain
The meditation orientation is not about fixing pain or making it better. It’s about looking deeply into the nature of pain–making use of it in certain ways that might allow us to grow. In that growing, things will change, and we have the potential to make choices that will move us toward greater wisdom and compassion, including self-compassion, and thus toward freedom from suffering. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, “At Home In Our Bodies” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for February 19, 2020
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. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for November 11, 2018
There can be no resolution leading to growth until the present situation has been faced completely and you have opened to it with mindfulness, allowing the roughness of the situation itself to sand down your own rough edges. In other words, you must be willing to let life itself become your teacher.
