Mindfulness and Mysticism: Connecting Present Moment Awareness with Higher States of Consciousness Quotes

“We desperately want to know the true meaning and purpose of our existence, but we can’t unless we strip ourselves bare of all the things that have deceived us from the purest essence of our soul.”

“Who doesn’t want to feel bliss? We all do. But if it’s for reasons other than to experience heightened awareness, then we will continue to desperately desire bliss to fill a deep, gaping hole in our souls.”

“Mindfulness feels like it stops time and sits patiently with you, as if holding your hand and saying, “It’s okay. You can be with what you’re feeling, and take as much time as you need to work through it with compassion for yourself.”

“Practicing Mindfulness not only keeps us awake but also keeps us aware of the impermanence of life; therefore, we have a greater appreciation of it. We care. Life matters. The moments of our lives matter. We don’t want to waste them. Not a single one.”

“Mindfulness helps us stay right here, even when it’s uncomfortable staying right here, and this is something very important for us to learn. We must discipline our mind to be present, aware, and focused, even when we would rather do anything but that.”

“Be present with your pain, and be willing to feel it, really feel it. Yes, it can be very uncomfortable, but if you quickly try to numb yourself from it, then you are choosing to be in the moment half-asleep, and what kind of way is that to go through life?”

“Mindfulness is here for you, but you must use it, or it remains a valuable quality wasted. It will help you when you are sad or feeling hopeless by making you more aware of what’s troubling you so you can know what to do about it.”

“By being in a state of complete awareness, we can remain observant of our thoughts and feelings with acceptance and non-judgment because we have a heightened awareness of what is occurring in our minds.”
