Practice Mindfulness and Compassion

The simple and pragmatic answer

Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

MINDFULNESS is intentionally paying attention, being fully aware of what is

happening both inside yourself - in your body, heart and mind - and outside

yourself in your environment. Mindfulness is awareness without

judgement.

Mindfulness

● Awareness without judgement● In the present moment● With acceptance● Witnessing sensations, thoughts and

emotions● With kindness and curiosity

“I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

“

“Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

“The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness Can Transform

● Boredom into curiosity● Distressed restlessness into ease● Negativity into gratitude

Understand Our True Nature

Life is suffering

Impermanence

Non-Self

Inter-relationship

“You are me and I am you. Isn't it obvious that we inter-are?

You cultivate the flower in yourself so that I will be beautiful.

I transform the garbage in myselfso that you do not have to suffer.

I support you you support me. I am here to bring you peace

you are here to bring me joy. “

- Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness Meditation

Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is the unknown. Now is the knowing.
