Читать книгу 70 Daily Reflections For Your Spiritual Awakening - Adrian Tanase - Страница 15

Mindfulness is the conscious act where you focus your awareness in the present moment. Basically you are aware of the Here and Now, continuously, and you witness the present moment with direct experience. By being present or mindful, you gradually come to be aware also of your body, body sensations, perceptions or being aware through your senses, emotions, thoughts and even your consciousness. By being more present every day, you will find ways of maintaining presence or mindfulness in both physical activities and those activities that require a more mental approach, as writing or sitting at the computer.

Practicing meditation, prayer or other spiritual practice will make you understand that being present or mindful is not something important that we should have, practice or develop, but even much more than that, it is an inseparable thing that we must have while doing our regular daily tasks. You will begin to understand that you need to do your tasks in order to continuously support your mindfulness or presence, not the other way around. Keep in mind that awareness brings mindfulness and mindfulness brings more awareness.

Be present in any situation. Be mindful. Be aware, still and peaceful. Don't forget to love as much as you can and be compassionate and kind to everyone. Life is always simple and great, you just have to see it with mindfulness through your clear, loving and kind eyes.
