Like the blue sky, our enlightened nature is always with us, but sometimes we forget, it becomes obscured by the clouds. We meditate to be reminded of the blue sky, of our true nature. #MondayMotivation

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Everyone runs into a few bumps when they're first learning to meditate. It’s pretty common. Fortunately, just recognizing and acknowledging an obstacle can often help you overcome it. hdspce.co/33Os5jQ

Mindfulness practice pearl: Keep it Simple! Most of our work is the remembering to be aware; coming back to our direct experience (sensations, emotions, thoughts) -- again and again and again -- in order to build our muscles of attention and awareness.

It seems as if the frenetic pace of modern life is accelerating, making it harder and harder to keep up. The simple practice of mindful awareness can help us slow down and reduce stress, leading to greater ease and happiness.
