Between input and reaction there is a gap of pure awareness that we usually don’t notice.

Often we would rather be someplace else rather then where we are at the moment, but actually that's impossible.

Obsession is the experience of a particular thread of thought and feeling when it is in extremely high rotation in our mind.

One common feeling that new meditators (or even old meditators) have is a desire for peace, for calm, for tranquility.

Meditation is looking directly at who we are and not assuming anything- about our thoughts, our emotions, or our situation.
