Mindfulness helps you open up to the deeper layers of yourself. - Rick Hanson

It's a general moral principle that the more power you have over someone, the greater your duty to use that power benevolently. Well, who is the one person in the world you have the greatest power over? It's your future self. You hold that life in your hands, and what it will be depends on how you care for it.

when you know that your practices are actually changing your brain, you’re more likely to keep doing them.

inescapable physical or mental discomfort is the “first dart” of existence.
