All year, the discussion has been about how to apply mindfulness techniques to explore \u201cawareness\u201d and how this leads to connection to the deeper insights into the truth of life. &amp;nbsp;Mindfulness allows us to recognize and accept the present moment, and awareness allows us to transform them into presence. The phase \u201cyes, and\u201d is a good phrase to remember \u2013 \u201cyes\u201d to what is in the present moment \u2013 good or bad, plus \u201cand\u201d \u2013 which is the awareness that transforms and leads to healing. The \u201cand\u201d points to the fact that even if the present moment has pain or fear, there is another way. Awareness is a way.
