We often cannot change our external environment. We certainly cannot change many (or most) of the people we encounter.
But Mindfulness practice can lead us to clearly 'see' -- and help us to genuinely understand -- what is happening in the present moment (i.e., as it is happening) rather than being confused and/or lost in our thoughts, opinions and reactions.
Through experiential mindfulness, we can insightfully change in remarkable ways.
And consider: once we are changed, everything changes.
(Length: 17 minutes)
