• It's the center hole that makes the wagon wheel's spokes move.
• Know the position of the body and know the state of the mind as much as possible throughout the day.
• Consider all phenomena as a dream.
• Meditation prep: arrange your legs, lengthen your spine, rock side to side and front to back on your sit bones, tilt your pelvis slightly forward, soften your belly, tuck your chin, rest your tongue with the tip on the roof of your mouth, breathe through your nose, rest your hands in the chosen position, relax.
• Close your eyes, stop their movement, and feel you inner being.
• Find something you are resisting deeply. Sit with it. Embrace it. Allow yourself to feel the resistance. Allow yourself to allow it to disappear. Stop resisting resistance and something new can take place.
• We start to appreciate how it is the holding on to pleasure and pushing away of pain that is the problem, not pleasure and pain themselves. Then we can practice in the midst of our daily lives.
• Be active rather than reactive.
• Notice the effect upon breathing of certain things, like coffee, alcohol, exercise.
• Open the door to experiencing independent contentment.
• Follow your breath as far in and out as it goes, noting `in' and `out' or `one' and `two'.
• It is always better to say something kind or encouraging than to speak sharply or derisively.
• Mindfulness is not clinging, not condemning, not identifying with anything - and the mind becomes lighter and freer.
• Give up the need to "stand your ground" or guard your opinions.
