I am going to share with you three key ideas from the book “Finding the centre within”- the healing way of mindfulness meditation. I can not solicit enough about how amazing this book is. This book is about mindfulness, its about living in present, its about being aware and fully awake and not being run by our future plans, anxieties and worries.
Idea 1: Let it be
Mindfulness in one sentence is experiencing life that way it is.. watching things the way they are ,.. without judgement.. without reserves.. without struggle. ..a state of deep presence. Mindfulness is absent when we are trying to make our experience be what we think it should be rather than what it actually is. 
Idea 2: slow it down a bit
Being busy is a status symbol. It shows how important we are. It is a myth in western culture that success creates happiness and the sign of success is being busy. Haste is a bedevilling force in modern life and It is very difficult to be mindful while you are rushing.
Idea 3: You already are complete
Budhism teaches that there are three kinds of problems you can have with self esteem- thinking you are better than others, thinking you are worse than others and third problem- thinking you are as good as others. But why include thinking you are as good as others??  Well,because you are still comparing .
