The Mind That Has Not Been Developed

Mindfulness Means Paying Attention In A Particular Way: On Purpose, In The Present Moment, And Non-judgmentally.

The Real Meditation Is How You Live Your Life.

Meditation Is Simply About Being Yourself And Knowing Something About Who That Is. It Is About Coming To Realize That You Are On A Path Whether You Like It Or Not, Namely, The Path That Is Your Life. Meditation May Help Us See That This Path We Call Our Life Has Direction; That It Is Always Unfolding, Moment By Moment; And That What Happens Now, In This Moment, Influences What Happens Next.

In Asian Languages, The Word For Mind And The Word For Heart Are Same. So If You’re Not Hearing Mindfulness In Some Deep Way As Heartfulness, You’re Not Really Understanding It. Compassion And Kindness Towards Oneself Are Intrinsically Woven Into It. You Could Think Of Mindfulness As Wise And Affectionate Attention.

Allow Your Attention To Gently Alight On Your Belly, As If You Were Coming Upon A Shy Animal Sunning Itself On A Tree Stump In A Clearing In The Forest. Feel Your Belly Rise Or Expand Gently On The Inbreath, And Fall Or Recede On The Outbreath.
