Shamash Alidina

Shamash Alidina
“discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.”
Shamash Alidina, Mindfulness For Dummies
“Just as someone obsessed with becoming a millionaire focuses on gaining riches and can miss out on living a fun, balanced life, so someone obsessed with being enlightened or being totally free of all difficulties can also miss out on life. Far healthier to just live a mindful, balanced life and fully participate in what life has to offer.”

“Healthier strategies include improving your social interactions, doing more physical exercise, getting involved in new hobbies, and maintaining a healthy diet.”
Shamash Alidina, Mindfulness for Challenging Times: A Collection of Voices for Peace, Self-care and Connection
“In the ancient Indian Pali language, the words for mind and heart are the same. And the Chinese character for mindfulness is a combination of two characters. One part means now and the other means mind or heart. So, when you hear the word mindfulness you can also consider it to mean heartfulness.”
