Mindfulness is being fully present and engaged with that you are doing at the moment. It involves being free from judgement, distraction, being aware of our feelings, thoughts and emotions in the present "now." In doing this we are teaching the mind to be present - which is very helpful when we are faced with difficult situations or circumstances.
Below are 35 motivating mindfulness quotes to create flow in your life:

Without calmness, the mirror of mindfulness will have an agitated and choppy surface and will not be able to reflect things with any accuracy.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
35. "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." ~ Buddha
Going through a spiritual awakening?
During an awakening, it may be useful to have some professional guidance: someone who can confidently, patiently and without judgement help us, step by step through the healing process. If you are in need of someone to talk with about triggers, past trauma, childhood wounds or repressed emotions. I am available for online booking please contact me directly at: fromanotherealm@gmail.com
Face whatever is holding you back head on and it no longer has power over you, you have power over it! Awareness and anything can't co exist. Awareness is more powerful than your ego, your emotions, your thoughts and your feelings. Awareness is what gets you back home to your soul purpose.
You can use your pain and turn it into power. If you are willing to work on where your pain comes from, the lesson to be learned and turn your knowledge into action, you can use your suffering to turn you into a stronger and wiser person! I look forward to working with you on your spiritual journey.
Love & Light,
Namaste ~ Paulina
