your daily rock : live mindfully

February 17, 2013 in Daily Rock, General


“Mindfulness meditation doesn’t change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart’s capacity to accept life as it is.” -Sylvia Boorstein

Awareness and mindfulness are two different things. Mindfulness is awareness pointed in a certain direction, on purpose, and (this is important) without judgement. Mindfulness helps us recognize our way out of patterns that no longer serve us, without judging ourselves for having created those patterns in the first place. Judgment, on the other hand, kicks us right out of learning.

Pay attention on purpose, in each moment, without judgement.

Love,
