Our thinking mind loves to run the show, continually narrating and judging everything. But there is so much more to being human. We experience life through all of who we are—the body, thoughts, emotions, sensations, sounds, energy, and spirit. Today you might nourish the wholeness of yourself through movement, being in community, spending time in nature, listening to music, cooking, creating, or whatever helps you feel whole again. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush You are not your mind.
―Eckhart Tolle Perhaps the most courageous journey is the journey within. Being with ourselves can be challenging. We’re so used to being on alert that it is difficult to recognize those precious moments when it is safe to let down our guard and soften into the quiet. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush All of man’s difficulties are caused by his inability to sit, quietly, in a room by himself.
―Blaise Pascal When the body is still, we often find that the mind and emotions are anything but still. Thinking mind may be the reality of the moment and meditation may not always bring peace. But we can be at peace with the noise. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush Meditation is not evasion, it is a serene encounter with reality.
―Thich Nhat Hanh Life is surely complex and chaotic. If you’re waiting for the right moment or opportunity to find peace, you may be waiting for a long time. Now is the perfect moment to pause, settle in, and rediscover the stillness within. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.
―Anonymous Even though we spend a lot of time thinking of the past and the future, the present moment is truly the only moment in which we can live. There are countless small wonders that we only notice when we’re living in the present. And there are countless small ways we can impact the world. A smile, a kind word, or a small step forward can ripple out in all directions. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.
