If you're visiting this page, it's likely you are interested in topics like Meditation, Suffering, Mindfulness, and Enlightenment. Great! This website is all about reducing suffering and increasing mental clarity through meditative practices, but with an emphasis on micro-meditative tools that can be used throughout the day as part of building up a new way to experience life. | |||
{{The Mission Statement}} | |||
There are thousands of schools of thought, and so many ways to approach Enlightenment. Everyday Enlightenment is just one resource and isn't intended to be all-inclusive, but it offers an approach that is rare to find. The key concepts that differentiate the approach of Everyday Enlightenment are | |||
*No emphasis on formal meditation. | |||
*Learn to harness pieces of your daily routine as the tools of Enlightenment. | |||
*Use these tools all day, every day. | |||
*As you Awaken, the practices become part of you. | |||
At its root, enlightenment itself is about achieving a dramatic reduction in suffering, and a dramatic increase in mental clarity. | |||
Enlightenment can be found every day, all day, in everything around you, and through meditative practices, you can harness the many moments of your day in a way that becomes a path to enlightenment. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, read through this page and see where you can get started. | |||

[[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment]] is a set of tools ([[Trails]], [[Guides]], [[Lenses]] and [[Landmarks]]) for following the [[Beacons|Beacons of Enlightenment]] through the [[Realms]]. In order to conceptualize this development, a very simple framework is available to describe the why and how of these concepts. [[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment|Understanding this Map]] is useful for exploring and understanding the Landmarks, because they are organized and categorized within that Map. However, if you are experienced enough with these types of meditative practices, you can likely dive right into the [[Pathways]] to see what you'd like to explore. | |||
