“Everything will be okay as soon as you
are okay with everything. And that’s the
only time everything will be okay.”
Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

Jon Kabat-Zinn
“We tend to be particularly unaware that we are thinking virtually all the time. The incessant stream of thoughts flowing through our minds leaves us very little respite for inner quiet. And we leave precious little room for ourselves anyway just to be, without having to run around doing things all the time. Our actions are all too frequently driven rather than undertaken in awareness, driven by those perfectly ordinary thoughts and impulses that run through the mind like a coursing river, if not a waterfall. We get caught up in the torrent and it winds up submerging our lives as it carries us to places we may not wish to go and may not even realize we are headed for.
Meditation means learning how to get out of this current, sit by its bank and listen to it, learn from it, and then use its energies to guide us rather than to tyrannize us.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life

Abhijit Naskar
“The best meditation app is not an app, but the human mind.”
Abhijit Naskar

“Inner Peace can be seen as the ultimate benefit of practicing patience.”
Allan Lokos, Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living

Rick     Hanson
“[I]f you can be with the pleasant without chasing after it, with the unpleasant without resisting it, and with the neutral without ignoring it - [...] that is an incredible [...] freedom.”
Rick Hanson, Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
