I live a traditionally Jewish life. Twenty years ago, I was encouraged to go to a Buddhist mindfulness retreat. I was very much inspired and changed from having heard what the Buddha taught. The practice of mindfulness is the practice of paying attention in every moment of one's day. It's the balanced recognition of the truth of the moment.
Mindfulness is also a capacity of mind that everybody has.
It isn't a mantra or a visualization, it isn't about having a mind empty of thoughts. It's one of those things that we need to remember rather than learn how to do, which for me is really an important differentiation. Could Be Waiting for You. Inc. All rights reserved.
