Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror. The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our lives.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

Metta is the ability to embrace all parts of ourselves, as well as all parts of the world. Practicing metta illuminates our inner integrity because it relieves us of the need to deny different aspects of ourselves. We can open to everything with the healing force of love. When we feel love, our mind is expansive and open enough to include the entirety of life in full awareness, both its pleasures and its pains, we feel neither betrayed by pain or overcome by it, and thus we can contact that which is undamaged within us regardless of the situation. Metta sees truly that our integrity is inviolate, no matter what our life situation may be.

The skills available to us through mindfulness make it possible to bring love to our connections with others.
