Mindfulness is not just a practice. It is a way of life. It becomes a way of seeing the world. Read my book: What's Beyond Mindfulness: Waking Up To This Precious Life. A poem there asks: Have you forgotten that your troubled mind still loves stars, and can see the pain behind another's eyes? Can you allow yourself to love yourself just the way you are and do the same with every stranger on the road? Mindfulness opens us to the world - its richness, its mystery, its generosity and its poetry. We see the world and know we belong to it. Mindfulness indeed can heal the disconnections, friction and disturbances, but it is so much more than that.
