True homeOur true home is the present moment. Real
life can only be found and touched in the here and now. This is because the present moment is the only moment we can actually experience and influence. The past is over and the future has not yet arrived. Since the present moment is the only real moment for us, we can always return here to get in touch with the wonders of life.

Stillness as resource
Cultivating and resting more in the ‘heart’ qualities of mindfulness – kindness and compassion – will comfort and steady you. And, discovering your inner resources for safety, silence, and stillness will empower you to deal with the most disturbing experiences.”
(Brantley, J., & Kabat-Zinn, J. (2007, pg. 201).
