Mindfulness has gained significant media attention in past few years. Perhaps, the part of the reason is that people are trying hard to find ways to live better as modern lifestyle is taking its toll on mental health and overall well-being. Even though the attention to this topic is new, mindfulness concept is not new. It has been practiced for thousands of years in ancient Buddhist and Hindu culture.
In a world where our lifestyle is more like a routine or a habitual loop, people have stopped asking themselves simple questions such as “Who am I? Where am I heading to? What makes me happy?”
These are the questions that exist, whether you make an effort to ask them or not. However, it is easy going to work, getting children to their piano lessons, shopping or going out with friends but missing the most beautiful experience of life itself. The question is: are you really aware of who you really are?
Mindfulness represents the awareness we have of the present, whatever happens on the spot, right now, around you.
Got you thinking for a second, right? What exactly where you doing or thinking besides reading this article? Mindfulness lays in the ability to stop for a few seconds - the time that inevitably flows by and becoming aware of a certain action, sensation, smell or feeling. You don’t have to dissect the moment, or emit judgement by any way – it’s all about being able to take things out of the context and admire them like a beautiful display of life. Mindfulness is not about categorizing things in good or bad, it’s about awareness and acceptance.
You don't have to be in a lotus position to practice mindfulness. You can have a mindful breakfast! Just while you are eating, look at your food, your hand and finger. Pay profound attention - a keen awareness of that specific moment. The taste of food and the sensation of food. That moment of awareness will make your heart full and result into immense gratitude towards yourself and everyone around you.
Mindfulness and Meditation are the two side of same coin. Among many other tool for meditation, mindfulness is one of the proven way to be meditative and seek your inner truth. This is the important concept - be meditative. You don't meditate, you become meditative. Immense awareness of who you are can trigger this meditative state. This is Mindfulness all about.
Any activity of your daily life can be practiced with mindfulness. Recent researches indicate that practicing mindfulness has numerous mental and physical benefits including, but not limited to:
Mindfulness will come naturally for most people. In order to become aware of the present moment, yoga and breathing techniques can ease the way. Yoga helps you connect with yourself, the surrounding world and the spirituality, so isolating a present moment and becoming aware of the impact it has on you could easily become a pleasant routine.
Yoga drives your attention inwards, sculpting your intellect into tracking moments and launching awareness. With practice, it will become your second nature. Once you tackle mindfulness, confidence, focus and evolution will converge into offering you a life that has meaning and direction. Keep practicing, stay blissful!
