Two broad categories of results can sum up most people’s purposes for meditating. The first is to fully experience the present moment and to encounter thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. The second is to enter a place of calmness away from the reactivity that can overwhelm us. One meditator sails into the maelstrom, the other seeks a temporary shelter from the storm. The most interesting thing is that each result comes from the same basic techniques. So what the meditator seeks, and how much time he or she is willing to put into it, determines the outcome.

ozziegontang's insight:
When one is had by their Vision and is working on their competence of accepting themselves and at the same time with the commitment to be better tomorrow than I was today at being me and being better at the work I do it changes one's perspective. We each have a unique contribution because no one has had another person's experience. Being present. Being aware. Being intentional. Mindfulness like any human endeavor is about practice. Regular practice. No matter how I am feeling it is there as my teaching. Can I slow myself down? Can I focus on doing here doing what I need to be doing. We are mindful or mind full. It is always a choice
