Secular Mindfulness Quotes

“Every experience is a feeling or thought or sensation interpreted through our judgment. Pleasure and pain are not inherent in the sensations but a result on our personal judgments superimposed on the sensations.”

“You are aware of your body, your thoughts, your senses. In the same way, you are aware of things that are outside you – the chair, the temperature, the people, the environment. All of them are in your awareness.”

“In mindfulness, awareness can be thought of as one’s core, which is being. This awareness can also be thought of as a witness or witnessing consciousness, sometimes also called metacognition. It is in this awareness that all cogitations and actions arise.”

“Mindful leaders consider themselves as a blank screen on which all their mental and physical activities take place. this is one reason why mindful leaders have greater resilience and control – they are detached observers rather than involved actors.”

“A mindful leader looks at his being (witnessing consciousness or awareness) as the substratum on which he plays his leadership role. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he does not. Sometimes he is the manager, then he might become a follower. But his awareness remains unchanged.”

“Being a leader is only one of many roles you might play. You also play personal roles such as a sibling, parent, child, spouse, grandparent, etc. all of these roles depend on you for their existence. But what mindfulness shows us is that your awareness can be independent of these roles.”
