{"quotes":[{"text":"Mindfulness \u0026 Meditation help focus on the moment while at the same time knowing we cannot capture that moment, we are in a flow of moments we let flow. We can watch moments in detail without being attached to them. Non-attachment to past \u0026 future stems from this practice. Worry about past or future is wasted energy, however we can observe the past \u0026 learn from it without agonising over it \u0026 trust ourselves to handle the future better. We can celebrate the opportunity to grow as we gain understanding from observation \u0026 experience. We can watch ourselves \u0026 avoid being caught up in over-reactions. 'I am loved, right now, in this moment, I love, and am part of love itself. I am aware of myself at every level - the mental slowing gracefully to sense the spiritual within \u0026 all around, and the physical being still, or moving. I tune in to the flow of life in my body \u0026 the flow of life everywhere. I circulate love with each breath - from without to within \u0026 from within to all around.","author":"Jay Woodman","tags":["awareness","breath","breathing-in-awareness","energy","experience","flow","life","life-philosophy","life","love","meditation","mental","mindfulness","moment","moment-of-being","moments","moments-of-life","moments","movement","non-attachment","observation","over-reaction","physical","reaction","slow-and-steady","slowing-down","stillness","stillness-of-mind","stillness-of-soul","stillness-of-the-mind"],"id":1489,"author_id":"Jay+Woodman"},{"text":"Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.","author":"Morgan Freeman","tags":["life","learning","stillness "],"id":4355,"author_id":"Morgan+Freeman"},{"text":"So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things.

I’m writing it in Ireland, in a house on a hillside. The house sits low in the landscape between a holy well and the site of an Iron Age dwelling. It was built of stones ploughed out of the fields by men who knew how to raise them with their hands and to lock one stone to the next so each was firm. It’s a lone house on the foothills of the last mountain on the Dingle peninsula, the westernmost point in mainland Europe. At night the sky curves above it like a dark bowl, studded with stars.…From the moment I crossed the mountain, I fell in love with the place, which was more beautiful than any I’d ever seen. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer, and wiser than any I’d known before.","author":"Felicity Hayes-McCoy","tags":["balance","ireland","memoir","stillness"],"id":38172,"author_id":"Felicity+Hayes-McCoy"},{"text":"The mind provides a person with the mental fortitude to survive any physical or spiritual crisis. For the present time, I am satisfying myself by building a little shop in the back of my mind, a place where stillness resides and a jangle of thoughts can come and visit. I am building a room of my own, a room that I can retreat to when needed, a place where I am always welcomed regardless of the trappings of this ordinary and finite life. I do not need much as far as earthy rewards, but I certainly will not spurn food, drink, companionship, love, affection, friendship, or other physical, emotional, spiritual, aesthetic, and sensuous pleasures that find their way to my humble doorstep.","author":"Kilroy J.
