Black-authors Quote by Jor-El Caraballo
““Practicing mindfulness can seem abstract at first. It certainly was to me. But what I’ve learned is that when we use the senses we have available, we create a shortcut to present-centered living. Because the body naturally rests in the here-and-now, it proves itself a useful tool in mindfulness.””
