Mindfulness is tender attention — a way of seeing clearly, breathing kindly, and returning home to the present. As Mindfulness teacher Michelle Burford distilled it: “Mindfulness can be summed up in two words: pay attention. Once you notice what you’re doing, you have the power to change it.”🙏

Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process. ~ A. Bartlett Giamatti

On life’s journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him. ~ The Buddha

If you are mindful of death, it will not come as a surprise — you will not be anxious. You will feel that death is merely like changing clothes. Consequently, at that point you will be able to maintain your calmness of mind. ~ Dalai Lama

Every day, mindful practice. When the mind is disciplined then the Way can work for us. Otherwise, all we do is talk of Tao; everything is just words; and the world will know us as its one great fool. ~ Loy Ching-Yuen

Blot out, correct, insert, refine / Enlarge, diminish, interline. / Be mindful, when invention fails, / To scratch your head and bite your nails. ~ Jonathan Swift

Anything done with focus, awareness or mindfulness is a meditation. ~ David Harp

Cultivating a generous spirit starts with mindfulness. Mindfulness, simply stated, means paying attention to what is actually happening; it’s about what is really going on. ~ Nell Newman

People are at their most mindful when they are at play. If we find ways of enjoying our work — blurring the lines between work and play — the gains will be greater. ~ Ellen Langer

It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. ~ René Descartes

Stretch your mind and fly. ~ Whitney M. Young Jr.

What you are thinking, what shape your mind is in, is what makes the biggest difference of all. ~ Willie Mays
