What is Mindfulness? by Janet Warfield
Mindfulness LinkedIn group: What is Mindfulness Anyway?
To me, mindfulness is simply in-the-moment awareness and choice.
It’s about knowing myself and shifting my focus from what’s “out there” to what’s “in here.”
Noticing my thoughts, noticing my emotions, choosing the ones I want, and taking the necessary action steps to make them happen.
When I learn how to be mindful in my own life, I then know how to be mindful of others.
What’s “out there” doesn’t change. What changes is what our minds and emotions do with what’s “out there.”
It’s just like looking at an optical illusion. Once we understand the different ways our minds can organize what’s “out there”, each of us can choose what we want to see, what thoughts we want in our heads, what emotions we want in our hearts, and bring them into our lives.
Effortless Abundance:
Five ways to live in the present
"There is only now. There is no past and no future. This truth is so obvious that, when one comes to understand it, one wonders why it was not grasped before.
There is something utterly wonderful about the present moment.
Suffering comes from ideas about reality to which reality does not, in fact, conform.
And so, in the present moment, a great happiness can emerge.
When one truly abides in the moment, not desiring to change reality, a kind of pure joy becomes manifest, and it is from this condition that all our creative energy grows.
From this place of acceptance and love, the ability to manifest emerges. From a place of present moment awareness comes all the creativity and spontaneity which gives intentions the propulsion they need to become manifest.
Once we understand the different ways our minds can organize what’s “out there”, each of us can choose what we want to see, what thoughts we want in our heads, what emotions we want in our hearts, and bring them into our lives."
