Welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
Today we're going to focus on what are the
most important aspects of mindfulness, and
that is the attitude
with which we practice.
Mindfulness is the awareness that arises
when we're fully present in the moment,
but it also involves an attitude of
kindness and open-heartedness towards
what's happening.
And that includes an attitude
of kindness towards ourselves.
And for many of us, while we may be
kind to others, we're often not kind to
ourselves.
You know, that voice of the inner
critic can be a really harsh companion,
constantly trying to whip us into
shape and get us to measure up.
Often it also puts us down, belittles
us, and tells us we're not enough.
And as a result of hearing that inner
commentary, we lose confidence in
ourselves.
We can feel unworthy and kind of find
ourselves bound up in stress and tension.
Now we can be especially harsh with
ourselves when we make a mistake or things
don't go the way we want them to.
In meditation, it's really common to see
this tendency reflected in the way we
react when our mind wanders.
Often we become frustrated, impatient,
or disappointed when the mind wanders.
It's like an automatic reaction, but if
we can train ourselves to be patient,
respectful, calm, and kind with our mind
when it wanders, we can stop being at war
with ourselves.
And with practice, this kindly calm
awareness that we cultivate in meditation
just becomes our new way of being,
and then naturally flows into our
relationships, our homes,
and our whole lives.
So in today's meditation, we're going to
be training and cultivating a calmer and
kinder mind,and learning to hold whatever
is happening in a loving awareness that is
larger than at all.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
