“Mindfulness meditation teaches you to recognise memories and damaging thoughts as they arise. It reminds you that they are memories. They are like propaganda, they are not real. They are not you. You can learn to observe negative thoughts as they arise, let them stay a while and then simply watch them evaporate before your eyes. And when this occurs, an extraordinary thing can happen: a profound sense of happiness and peace fills the void.”
― Mark Williams, Mindfulness: A practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world

“Never trust in theories, m’lad, if they’re thought up by types who work in offices.”
