WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness encourages a soft quality of relaxed curiosity and opens up space for new response. It is suggested we can experience our true nature and see things as they really are when we soften tendencies towards fixed mind, a form of attachment. Fixed mind often results in conditioned, reactive responses that can cause tension in relationships and in the body.
Mindfulness provides you the opportunity to examine self-defeating patterns that disrupt equanimity of mind, resulting in a disembodied experience. It provides experiential practice for responding in new ways to yourself and others while engaging full body awareness; increasing one's ability to slow down response to ensure a more measured and thoughtful outcome.
A regular mindfulness practice holds the potential to surface attachments to ego, cravings, greed and their associated fears; increasing honesty, transparency and coherence of experience. Whether sitting on a couch, lying on a yoga matt or standing with feet firmly rooted, it is possible to open to this awareness.
Mindfulness is common to a number of wisdom traditions and is widely practiced around the globe. It is generally accepted as whole body sense perception and is often referred to as "open attention." Mindfulness is the art of being fully engaged and aware in the present moment; cognizant of breath, body, mind, heart and its impact on those around you.
