Mindfulness is applies to both bodily actions and the mind's own thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness is the practice whereby
a person is intentionally aware of his or her thoughts and actions in the present moment. Mindfulness is a prerequisite for
developing insight and wisdom.
Mindfulness is an activity that can be done at any time. You simply observe the moment in which you find yourself without
judging, reflecting or thinking. It is the path which allows you to be taught and then teach.
It can be done while
sitting, or standing. It can be the focusing on the breath, but mostly, it is the bringing of the mind to focus on what is
happening in the present moment, while simply noticing the mind's usual "commentary".
Example - mindful
of the mind's commentary: "I wish I didn't have to walk any further, I like the sound of the leaves rustling, I wish washing
dishes wasn't so boring and the soap wasn't drying out my skin", etc.
Any activity done mindfully is a form of meditation.
One can be mindful of the sound of the wind in the trees, of the sensations in one's feet while walking, or the feeling of
the soapy water while doing dishes.
As we closely observe inner reality, we find that happiness is not a quality brought about by a change in outer circumstances.
It starts with by realizing our own "mindless" unhappiness. Therefore, it's the automatic reactions toward pleasant and unpleasant
situations or feelings.
"Change the way you look at things
and the things you look at will change..."
Because it is important for you to know the peace of Spirit in your life,
