Pause
Take a moment to
simply be here now
by bringing awareness to the sensations of
your next three breaths
“If you don’t get what you want, you suffer;
if you get what you don’t want, you suffer;
even when you get exactly what you want,
you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever.
Your mind is your predicament.
It wants to be free of change.
Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death.
But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”
~ Socrates
And here is a link to a 3 minute video in which Jon Kabat-Zinn discusses how mindfulness can offer liberation from suffering : https://youtu.be/o14I-F2iI9U
Wishing you moments of acceptance
and peace of mind today
