In case you've been wondering why I have not been blogging, I have been working on this music project.
Please have listen and let me know what you think.

Welcome to Wake Up Now! This blog is about my experience with applying teachings on mindfulness to the immediate and rugged experiences of daily life. You will find a few definitions and references here to clarify the topic, yet this is not intended as a scholarly approach to mindfulness. I invite readers to post thoughtful and respectful comments about their understanding and experience of mindfulness as it applies to being an ordinary "Mary or Joe" in the world.
"...we are all vulnerable to being triggered by situations and memories. There are many teachings on the mind of compassion that help us take advantage of these experiences and make use of them. Yet, this in only half of the picture."The other side of this picture has to do with the positive qualities of mind and the deeper capacity we have for mindfulness and awareness. As human beings we have many positive potentials that can be triggered besides our memories and habitual tendencies. Some of these positive potentials can be triggered suddenly and to develop them we must apply ourselves, to recognize them and stabilize our ability tap into their presence.
