What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a way of being. A basic human quality of awareness that is cultivated by learning to pay wise attention to whatever is happening in our lives.

Mindfulness is an integrative, mind-body approach to life that helps people relate effectively to their experiences. It involves paying attention to thoughts, feelings and body sensations in a non-judgmental way that can increase our awareness, help us manage difficult experiences, and create space for wise choices.

We tend to spend a lot of time and energy living in the past (which has already gone) or living in the future (which hasn’t yet arrived), constantly rehashing and rehearsing our life. Often we aren’t present to what is happening right now – which is actually the only moment we can really live.

“Mindfulness is the awareness arising from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally, in the service of self-understanding, wisdom, and compassion.”

Mindfulness Meditation is a method to cultivate peace of mind by clearly seeing the way things are. Through observing the experience of the five senses and the mind/heart we develop the potential to experience each moment, no matter how difficult, with greater compassion and understanding.

Through basic meditation techniques it is possible to cultivate a quiet mind, develop emotional stability, understand the feelings of others just as our own and release the constraints we place on our own happiness. Instead of being caught in stress and pain, we learn to understand the causes of our difficulties and respond to them more skillfully.

It is a process of learning to really be ‘here’ in the present, fully alive with all the possibilities that life has to offer. The key is to learn to see and feel clearly without running away or holding on. There is a purifying force or freedom that comes from letting go of old patterns of behavior that often run through generations.

Mindfulness is not something new, special or esoteric, but about ‘presence’ and opening to what is true. There is a beauty and depth of life that comes from learning to BE FULLY HERE for our life’s gradual unfolding.
