A distinguishing characteristic of mindfulness meditation is that it investigates what is really happening by learning to SEE and FEEL from a non-judgmental posture of caring attention.

Setting the compass toward non-harm within and without.

THIS kind of wisdom is born out of understandings gleaned from felt experience, not deductive reasoning.

Pain may or may not pass but it is not to be ignored. It is to be seen and cared for, as another would minister to us!

Emphasis upon understanding causes of distress and causes of ease of wellbeing.

Right or Wise View sets the stage at the outset of our mindfulness journey and keeps us on track for not causing more harm, encouraging more ease and well being.

With mindfulness at the wheel navigating, and keeping Right View in sight, our choices are guided toward non-harm & good will.

We learn to shift out of our usual way of relating to the world and shift into a posture of mindful caring attention. This is crucial for practice to grow.

Translating non-greed, non-aggression and harmlessness into meaningful bite-size moments of practice.

Bringing more granular attention to cause and effect in direct experience.

What is driving our behavior in the moment? We learn to steer away from suffering and harmfulness and towards ease of wellbeing—by LETTING GO of suffering & harm, by BEING WITH whatever is here in a friendly way, and by CARING FOR for the pain that is here.

Skillfulness, meditation or developing the heart mind, and understanding through that development - these three groupings, comprise the whole of the practice of mindfulness & bring about ease of wellbeing.
