Mindfulness Meditation – Living in the Moment and Feeling HappyMindfulness is a meditative practice which seeks to help the practitioner to live in the moment. It is based on eastern meditative practices, specifically Buddhist techniques, which train the mind to experience life in the now. The philosophical belief that is the foundation of mindfulness practice is that human beings are much more than what they appear to be on the outside, and that this earthly experience we call life tends to cloak or veil our true nature from us.

Being MADE TO LOVE is a catchphrase for the entire world to see; not that we’re the perfect exemplification of it – only Jesus is or ever will be.
