On this Seeds of Sunshine episode:

• You will learn that meditation and mindfulness are interconnected.
• Meditation can be a silent prayer, the act of shutting our eyes and mouths, while opening our hearts, and soundless words filled with love that come from deep within us. 
• Mindfulness, according to Mother Teresa, is being happy in the moment. 
• Awareness is a key component of mindfulness, whereas acceptance is the ability to observe and accept - rather than judge or avoid, according to Psychology Today. 
• Meditation can be achieved through any form of exercise, which is why I call it in motion. Being still while meditating is a great option, but if you are like me and enjoy movement, you still can benefit from a more spiritual aspect of your exercise that can help you become better at home and at work.
• We can all tap into our creative selves through our favorite type of exercise by learning how to meditate in motion.
