“There is nothing passive about mindfulness. One might even say that it expresses a specific kind of passion—a passion for discerning what is subjectively real in every moment. It is a mode of cognition that is, above all, undistracted, accepting, and (ultimately) nonconceptual. Being mindful is not a matter of thinking more clearly about experience; it is the act of experiencing more clearly, including the arising of thoughts themselves. Mindfulness is a vivid awareness of whatever is appearing in one’s mind or body—thoughts, sensations, moods—without grasping at the pleasant or recoiling from the unpleasant.” ~Sam Harris

Thank you to BHoRA Creative for my incredible wrist malas that support me in my mindful practices, and to steal time back for my “now” watch that reminds me to “be present” in that which is “now” and that which cannot change. Gratitude for mindfulness and the deep awareness it cultivates!
