Our Life is Shaped By Our Mind; We Become What We Think

The practice of mindfulness is about seeing how your intention and attitude determine your reality as it is channeled through your attention in the moment. Mindfulness meditation involves cultivating awareness of how these dynamic forces define your lived experience. It is the formal practice of looking at how the mind works to create your immediate sense of the world — the feel of living in this moment as it is. In this way, there is no distinction between meditation and mindful living — life itself becomes your practice. As such, every moment is about discovering for yourself the meaning of the Buddha's words: "Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think."
