Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness, like many aspects of life, is subject to interpretation.

​

​

While the most common definition labels it as present moment awareness, even this description may not fully convey its depth. Numerous observations, sensations, and experiences unfold moment to moment.

​

Mindfulness can be viewed as a one-pointed awareness—a complete presence with a singular focal point and intention. The choice lies in whether to delve into the details or take a broader perspective, akin to deciding whether to be in the woods, among the trees, or viewing the forest from a distance. Are you the adventurer, experiencing sensations, feelings, emotions, and thoughts as they arise, or are you the observer?

​

There's no inherently right viewpoint or wrong perspective; they simply represent different intentions. Mindfulness entails being present with whatever arises, whether actively participating in those experiences or observing them. It involves resisting the impulse to manipulate, change, resolve, or dive into the rabbit hole, seeking their origin. It's about moment-to-moment awareness and acceptance of what is.
