Mindfulness practice helps us connect deeply with our body and mind. This allows us to see clearly what we need to do to cultivate physical and mental well-being, for our own benefits and for the benefits of others and the planet.

To heal, we need to learn the art of stopping. When we look deeply at the roots of our individual and collective suffering, we may transform unwholesome habits to nourish well-being, inner peace, fulfillment, freedom, joy, and happiness.
