Every Beat of Your Heart
You are here; you are living; let it be that way–that is mindfulness. Your heart pulsates and you breathe. All kinds of things are happening in you at once. Let mindfulness work with that, let that be mindfulness; let every beat of your heart, every breath, be mindfulness itself. You do not have to breathe specially; your breath is an expression of mindfulness. If you approach mindfulness in this way, it becomes very personal and very direct.
