Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know what leads you forward and what holds you back and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

A potted plants roots will never extend beyond the confines of the container it resides in. 

The same holds true for you. Your awareness and understanding will never grow as long as you hold onto the same ideas, concepts, and notions. These same ideas, concepts, and notions are your confining vessel.

Awareness, understanding, and openness, begin within the mind and eventually results in a wonderful paradigm shift. A more balanced, less self-centered mindset replaces the negativity, cynicism, and pessimism you may be holding.

When you embrace the shift in perspective that comes with mindfulness you allow yourself to experience a more rewarding life filled with peace, compassion, empathy, and love towards all living beings.

Mindfulness, as revealed through the Dharma, teaches one  how to develop your mental clarity. 

Imagine looking at the world through a dirty window. 

Would you like what you see? Would it be a true representation of the world? 

Our experiences, and therefor our interpretations, of the world are biased through qualities such as culture, society, socioeconomic class, gender, religion, race, and more. Mostly likely a combination of all these factors and more distort our view.

When you embrace mindfulness and meditation you will unlearn what you have learned allowing you to view the world without bias. As a further benefit you will see an increased understanding of yourself, others, and the world around you. 

Mindfulness may be used to help with: 

• Promoting psychological well-being 
• Developing positive mindsets 
• Reducing anxiety and depression 
• Focusing and attention 
• A more balanced lifestyle
