| The Seed of True Kindness
When we start to develop maitri for ourselves–unconditional acceptance of ourselves–then we’re really taking care of ourselves in a way that pays off. We feel more at home with our own bodies and minds and more at home in the world. As our kindness for ourselves grows, so does our kindness for other people. – Pema Chodron, “Unlimited Friendliness” |

| Find the Feeling
Buddhanature and the natural state are not just made up of happy, sweet emotions; buddhanature includes everything. It’s the calm, and the disturbed, and the roiled up, and the still; it’s the bitter and the sweet, the comfortable and the uncomfortable. Buddhanature includes opening to all of these things, and it’s found in the midst of all of them. – Pema Chodron, “Meditating with Emotions” |

Mini Mindfulness Break for July 09, 2020
 If we want there to be peace in the world, then we have to take responsibility when our own hearts and minds harden and close. We have to be brave enough to soften what is rigid, to find the soft spot and stay with it. We have to have that kind of courage and take that kind of responsibility. That’s true spiritual warriorship. That’s the true practice of peace.

 Right Now
The key instruction is to stay in the present. Don’t get caught up in hopes of what you’ll achieve and how good your situation will be some day in the future. What you do right now is what matters. – Pema Chodron Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for October 22, 2019
 Warm Heart, Clear Mind
It’s as if everyone who has ever been born has the same birthright, which is enormous potential of warm heart and clear mind. The ground of renunciation is realizing that we already have exactly what we need, that what we have already is good. – Pema Chodron, “Renunciation” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for July 05, 2019
 On Wishful Thinking
It isn’t the loved ones and gain, per se, that need to be renounced; it’s the unrealistic hopes we place in these things. Wishful thinking can easily become more compelling than the longing of the bodhi heart. – Pema Chodron, “Cutting Ties: The Fruits of Solitude “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Embracing Groundlessness
It’s not impermanence per se, or even knowing we’re going to die, that is the cause of our suffering, the Buddha taught. Rather, it’s our resistance to the fundamental uncertainty of our situation. Our discomfort arises from all of our effort to put ground under our feet, to realize our dream of constant okayness. – Pema Chodron, “The Fundamental Ambiguity of Being Human” |

Mini Mindfulness Break for November 15, 2018
 Open Your Heart
Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It’s a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs. – Pema Chodron, “Stay with Your Broken Heart” |

 Expansive Peace
Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth–it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened. – Pema Chodron, “Unlimited Friendliness” |
