When we become aware that we are an actor we get the freedom of being able to choose what roles we play.

By relaxing and dwelling in the unknown present, we train our mind in a way that transcends and translates into all our experiences.  It is like strength training, which automatically makes us stronger in all situations where muscles are involved.

By mindfully staying present for as little as 15 minutes a day we start being presented by opportunities to respond to situations, as opposed to automatically reacting to them.   The presence also tends to spill over and spontaneously manifest as beauty.

In this episode we also talk about the effects of mindfulness training on deployed military.

Also we talk about further training of thought and feeling patterns in our mind and body and how a basic meditation habit can be helpful.
