“…you will find very positive changes taking place within yourself. You will find that you are able to be more accepting and forgiving towards yourself. You will find that the feelings you have towards your loved ones will increase. You will find yourself making friends with people you used to be indifferent and uncaring towards, and you will find the ill-will or resentment you have towards some people will lessen and eventually be dissolved.” – Ven S.

"Body awareness is the first foundation of
mindfulness...Thinking about sensations keeps us trapped in our heads,
and perpetuates
patterns of anxiety, craving, etc. By simply experiencing
our
sensations, on the other hand, we help to cut down on
unproductive
thinking and bring about more calmness...Most of us live
rather too much in our heads, and
when we find a way to bring our awareness into our bodies it
can be a
positive relief and even a great pleasure." -- Bodhipaksa

It’s amazing how much non-resistance and presence changes everything.” -- Zen Habits READ POST
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” -- Einstein READ POST
