“Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn

Over the weekend I went to Mrs Mindfulness‘s ‘The Art of Mindful Living Retreat’ at the Mangrove Yoga Ashram just out of Sydney.

With a mind that generally runs a million miles an hour, I liked being reminded to stop reacting and start responding.

The retreat provided a space to let go. To be. To breathe.

For all of those things, I am grateful.

 

What is mindfulness?

“Paying attention; on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” ― Jon Kabat-Zinn

“Breathe and let be.”  ― Jon Kabat-Zinn

I am on my way and I am enough.
