"People seek retreats for themselves in the country, by the sea, or in the mountains. You are very much in the habit of yearning for those same things. But this is entirely the trait of a base person, when you can, at any moment, find such a retreat in yourself. For nowhere can you find a more peaceful and less busy retreat than in your own soul-especially if on close inspection it is filled with ease, which I say is nothing more than being well-ordered. Treat yourself often to this retreat and be renewed." —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 4.3.1 #philosophy #meditation #stoicism

Sit on the cushion and breathe. Do nothing else. Notice how the mind may attempt to take control. Allow your awareness to always return to the breath as you let go of control. The depth and fullness of the present moment will then be revealed. #meditation #yoga #mindfulness #spirituality #mentalhealth #wisdom
