Mindfulness

Mindfulness involves the self-regulation of attention so that it is maintained on immediate experience, thereby allowing for increased recognition of mental events  in the present moment.  The second component involves adopting a particular orientation toward one’s experiences in the present moment, an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance.   Bishop et al. (2004:232)

The Mantra of Mindfulness

The whole concept of mindfulness meditation is based upon the common knowledge that happiness does not come from what we have, as much as what we do with what we nave.  Focusing on this inner reality and understanding, we quickly learn that when we purge our soul of negative thoughts and attachments to situations and relationships that are damaging to us, we begin to improve how we think and feel in outer surroundings as well.  Culture plagues us with the idea, that more “stuff” equals happiness, and this can be either physical objects or empty friendships.  Having a meditative mindset puts us back in life’s driver seat, which in turn reduces our amount of negative reactions to external issues we encounter.  Some people call this process “taking thoughts captive.” While others view it as the ultimate power found in positive thinking.
