Mindfulness is not just a good idea or philosophy.
For something to have value for all of us, it must be embodied in the concrete aspects of our everyday lives.
It should be done with a light and gentle touch, not by forcing or pulling, so as to foster self-acceptance and kind self-compassion.
The practice and training of mindfulness has the power to heal human suffering and wounds, transforming our lives and the world for the better and healthier, and we are born with this capacity.
The practice and practice of mindfulness is not a singular thing; it begins and ends with the adventure of paying gentle, pure attention to and noticing your experience unfolding moment by moment, wherever you are and whatever difficulties or challenges you may be experiencing.


This book is about you and your life. It's about learning how to have a wise relationship with your mind, your body, and your body and your mind.
This is an invitation to practice mindfulness and experiment with how to apply it to your daily life.
May your life grow, blossom, and flourish more every moment, every day, with the practice of mindfulness.
