Mindfulness

“Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning cup of tea."

-Thich Nhat Hanh

“We can talk about mindfulness or write at length about it, but to truly understand mindfulness, we have to experience it directly.”

- Siegel et al., 2009, p. 17

“The richness of present-moment experience is the richness of life itself. Too often we let our thinking and our beliefs about what we ‘know’ prevent us from seeing things as they really are.”

- Kabat-Zinn, 2005, p. 35
