“Based on the latest neuroscience findings, mindfulness meditation includes at least three components that interact closely to constitute a process of enhanced self-regulation or self-control: enhanced attention control, improved emotion regulation, and altered self-awareness.“
Kristin Neff PhD
“People cannot always be or get exactly what they want. When this reality is denied or fought against suffering increases in the form of stress, frustration and self-criticism. When this reality is accepted with sympathy and kindness, greater emotional equanimity is experienced.“

“Mindfulness mediation provides beneficial effects on a number of cognitive domains, including attention, memory, executive function, and cognitive flexibility. Additionally, these effects have been found in multiple brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, subcortical grey and white matter, brain stem and cerebellum.“

“By taking just a few extra seconds to stay with a positive experience—even the comfort in a single breath—you’ll help turn a passing mental state into lasting neural structure.“
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
