Words from Mariana:
“Because what is a spiritual awakening right? Like we are talking about remembering who we are and the meaning of mindfulness, mindfulness with the big 'M' we say, which is like that because it became such a big word, right? That is so everything. So mindfulness with the big 'M' means field so it's like the field where we get to cultivate so much that has to do with the practice and we say that mindfulness with the little 'm' means Sati in Pali which of the word, the text of the Buddha teachings, means awareness, to remember, remembering.”
“There is a point in life that you just have to, like, you're doing everything that you're doing. There's only so much you can do and you have to like surrender or trust and sometimes in my practice when I'm feeling really like, you know out of control or like needing that sort of support like maybe I'll repeat myself, 'Just hold me. hold me.’”
"I believe that whatever, however is your authentic self, or however is the quality of your presence that you can bring into a room, you can bring in your social media. You can bring it all the places, you know, they don’t separate.”“Growing up it was always very normal in the house to have this conversation, to know about it. What is it to be part of her a bigger spiritual plane? I always joke now that I'm a mom and, like, the things we used to do when we were little, I'm like how was it possible? Because my parents would come from work, change their clothes, they put all white, and they would just leave us with the neighbor with the door open and they would go to the spiritual center where they still go to the day.”
“What am I, really, and what is important to me? And what can I do? And that's enough.”
