Mindfulness: Simple is beautiful


Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad. 

I am open to receiving peace in this moment; in the seeking and finding I am open to be receiving. I let go of resistance and surrender to this moment of now. I slow down, give up my past and future. I am ready to be in the moment ready for whatever happens.
