Peace Quotes

Mindfulness meditation teaches you to recognise memories and damaging thoughts as they arise. It reminds you that they are memories. They are like propaganda, they are not real. They are not you.

And when this occurs, an extraordinary thing can happen: a profound sense of happiness and peace fills the void.
