INSIGHT

Mindfulness Starts From Within

  • Mindfulness originates within each person and only we can enact it for ourselves.
  • It means attentive, alert awareness that brings health to the mind.

Mindfulness As An Ongoing Trait

  • Mindfulness is ideally a continuous trait rather than a temporary altered state.
  • When mindfulness is present, complementary qualities like confidence, alertness and balance arise too.
ADVICE

Start Simple — Mindfulness Is For Everyone

  • Don't assume mindfulness is unattainable; everyone can develop it with practice.
  • Seek simple, everyday ways to arouse awareness instead of seeing it as exclusive or foreign.
