Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness is essentially learning to become aware of ourselves and how we respond to our experience, both inwardly and outwardly. To do this we practise paying attention
As a practice it is simple yet difficult at the same time. The mind is prone to distraction, wandering from place to place seemingly of its own accord and we often don’t accept what we find in our inner landscape once we start the practice. The content of the mind doesn’t matter as much as the attitude we bring to it. Learning to see what’s there, without rejecting or indulging it, is the key. This is an art and requires practice – practice in the techniques and practice in reminding ourselves to be kind to ourselves, no matter what we find in our experience.
