MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. Mindfulness is passive and active loving awareness and natural presence of body, emotions, thoughts, mindstates, and relation to experience in the present moment.

  2. Meditation is deliberate training of attention that awakens us beyond the conditioned mind and habitual thinking, and reveals the nature of reality. It’s an inner contemplative practice to foster awakening, understanding, and love.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  1. “Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose.  Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently, until the song of your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it.  Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worth of rescue.” — Martha Postlethwaite (The Clearing)

  2. “Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”  —Viktor Frankl (Man’s Search for Meaning)
