"In Western traditions,
mindfulness is associated with devotional practices in which the Divine
is a constant companion within us. In Christianity, the practice is
having Jesus by our side at all times. In Judaism, the Kabalistic idea
that creation is taking place in each and every moment brings an acute
sensitivity to everything. All of these ideas can be practiced to raise
our level of awareness and induce an entirely new perspective, seeing things 'as they really are.'"
-Rabbi David Cooper
