Mindfulness

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: On purpose, in the moment and without judgment.  This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity and acceptance of the present moment reality. – Jon Kabat-Zinn

 

Often in life we only pay attention when something screams at us, but for me, it’s the whispers of nature, the quiet moments, the silence, that I discover a voice within, that leads me to my next step in the right direction.

Ten times a day something happens to me like this – some strengthening throb of amazement – some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness. ~ Mary Oliver
