Mindfulness quotes can be just the focus tool we need for those days when our brains are small replicas of the command bridge on the Starship Enterprise, complete with Captain Kirk barking orders for Mr. Sulu to go at warp speed ahead.
Thrusters at full capacity, we blaze through our days like we’re chasing a Klingon who just stole our private chocolate stash (and you know you have one).
In the future we very well may have the cool opportunity to galaxy jump at will, but for today being mindful — practicing how to live in the moment — keeps us grounded and able experience our lives rather than be a tourist in it.
One energy healing technique that will help clear your mind and bring you peace is to carry a piece of the healing crystal Celestite at all times. Another is to keep inspirational words and phrases with you wherever you travel. Below are 10 of best spiritual quotes to help bring your attention back to practicing mindfulness.

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it’s beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one.
