NO/WHERE. NOW/HERE.
MINDFULNESS
Your Life is HAPPENING Right NOW.
Be More Present
Happiness is a quality of presence. We are always in the present moment, so happiness is always available to us, but too often we don't access it. Instead we judge the moment. It's unsatisfactory because it's unpleasant. Even when it's pleasant it becomes unsatisfactory because the pleasantness doesn't last as long as we want it to. Or ordinary moments become less tolerable because we are craving something more pleasant. We establish and sustain our own unhappiness by our inability or unwillingness to be in the moment just as it is.
Mindfulness helps you learn how you resist reality and helps you let go of your resistance. It helps you be more calm, clear and compassionate regardless of the qualities of any moment. In that space of equanimity, greater and sustainable satisfaction is possible. Some people call that happiness.
