If Everything Around You Seems Dark, Look Again, You May Be The Light
- Rumi
Mindfulness is an energy that we generate when we bring our mind back to our body and get in touch with what is going on in the present moment, within us and around us.
"Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven…."
- Jesus Christ
