Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.

Today I'm going to talk about welcoming

everything and resisting nothing.

So mindfulness constantly reminds

us that everything we need to feel

fulfilled and at peace is already here.

All we need to do is pause for

long enough to let ourselves

feel this reality firsthand.

But the idea that happiness and peace

outside of ourselves and in the future

is such a strong habit of the mind

that we need to practice reminding

ourselves over and over and over again,

to come home to ourselves, to come

home to the present moment so that we

can return to what we already have.

One of the biggest tendencies in

meditation is to think that if we could

just get the mind into a particular

state, if we could just get rid of an

unpleasant emotion, if we could just

get the mind to slow down more, or if

we could get rid of particular thoughts,

then we can finally be at peace and happy.

But in actuality, this is just more

thinking that we tend to get caught up in.

So if we can learn to notice and

acknowledge this deeply ingrained

habit of the mind, this habit to

always think that something else or

some other thing is going to be better

than where we are right now, if we

can recognize that, we can let it go.

And it's in this letting go of

the thought of fulfillment and

peace existing in another time and

place that we let go of all of our

resistance and find true freedom and

peace of mind right where we stand.

So as always, thank you for your

practice and your presence here with us.

And now let's settle in

for today's meditation.
