Mindfulness is a skill that can be learned through practice to enhance our capacity for paying attention and living a fuller , more stress-free life.

To be present and to learn, to train oneself in mindfulness, or to offer it to others, you can only offer that if you’ve really found this capacity in yourself. It requires a wedding of love and awareness.’’
– Jack Kornfield, Insight Meditation Teacher and Author
