What is Mindfulness?

"Mindfulness means awareness. At the same time it means deep observation. The Pali word" Sati "(Sanskrit: smrti) means" stop "and" keep a light on an object. "Vipassana "(Sanskrit: vipasyana) This Pali word means" to go deep into an object ". When we are fully aware of and deeply observe an object, the boundary between the observation and the observation gradually disappears, and the observation and the observation become one. This is the essence of Zen. Only when we enter into an object and become one with it can we truly understand it. It is not enough to stand outside to observe an object. That is why this scripture reminds us to observe the body immediately, to receive the experience, to observe the mind and the law. " ^[1]

Interpretation of Mindfulness

Mind (Pali: sati, Sanskrit: smti, English: Mindfulness or awareness), also translated as nian root , nian nian , Buddhist term, one of five. "Pure Taoism" believes that mindfulness is a psychological process. Through remembering memory, we can maintain the stability and wandering of thoughts [3]. Because of the stability of the mind, the practitioner can upaganha good thoughts and actions, and give up evil actions. Forming a progressive, unrestrained power is called mindfulness . Mindfulness (Pali: samm-sati, Sanskrit: samyak-smti) is the mindfulness of a practitioner who is one of the Eight Orthodox Paths to Buddhahood. Whether or not it is mindfulness is determined by whether he has righteous knowledge, Mindfulness is mindfulness. Observing the body, receiving, mind, and Dharma with mindfulness is the Four Mindfulness, or Four Mindfulness. Practice mindfulness with mindfulness is called mindfulness.

Mindfulness is perceived in a specific way, namely conscious awareness (On Purpose), In the Present Moment, and Nonjudgementally. "It is the consciousness that does not diverge and linger in the virtual world of thinking Instead, focus on the real thing.

First, mindfulness means "conscious awareness." Sometimes we use the terms "Mindfulness" and "Awareness" as generic. This is not a good habit. I may perceive that I am a little impatient, but this does not mean that I am consciously impatient. In order to maintain mindfulness, I need to be aware of myself intentionally, rather than consciously consciously. For example, knowing that we are eating does not mean that we are thinking clearly when we are eating.

Let's explore this further with the example of eating. If we keep mindfulness while eating, we will actively feel the process of eating and pay attention to the feeling of eating and our response. We will also notice whether we are concentrating on eating, and once we find that we have lost our mind, we will consciously bring our attention back to the process of eating. Without mindfulness, on the surface we know what we are doing, but maybe we are thinking about one hundred and one irrelevant things at the same time, maybe we are still watching TV, talking or reading-even doing these three things at the same time! In this way, we are not eating attentively. We may just feel the body faintly, and know little about our minds and emotions.

When we only have vague feelings about our minds, they will climb freely without taking the initiative to bring our attention back to the process of eating. They have no purpose. Purposefulness is a very important part of mindfulness. If we are committed to the present, whether it is breathing, an emotion, or something as simple as eating, we are actively nurturing our hearts. If the mind is allowed to climb arbitrarily, all kinds of thoughts may arise, including those that reflect non-smart mentality such as anger, craving, sorrow, revenge, self-pity and so on. If we let it go, we will strengthen the corresponding emotions and bring suffering to ourselves. When we deliberately take consciousness out of these minds and bring it to a certain "parking point", we will weaken their influence on our lives and create conditions for fostering a calm and happy mood.

Mindfulness provenance and development

Mindfulness, the earliest source of the literature, comes from the Buddhist Four Mindful Sutras, which was formally introduced by the Buddha for the first time 2,600 years ago, and is the core meditation of primitive Buddhism. Mindfulness is sometimes called "passivation meditation" or "passivation meditation" (Vipassan).

After the birth of mindfulness, it has been widely taught in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia. It has gradually evolved into various forms such as mindfulness meditation, zen, and handprints due to regional and cultural reasons, but the essence is quite consistent.

Mindfulness was introduced to the West in the 1970s and 1980s. Kabakin and other scholars introduced and scientific research, gradually improved and integrated into one of the most important concepts and technologies in contemporary psychotherapy (mindfulness), and thus gave birth to mindfulness stress reduction (MBSR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Contemporary well-known psychological therapies such as realization therapy (ACT), mindfulness cognitive therapy (MBCT).

The practice of mindfulness and the extensive use of mindfulness include the use of mindfulness in situations of anxiety, depression, and pain, as well as how to creatively use mindfulness in intimate relationships, parent-child relationships, aging, and death.

At the moment, what thoughts or feelings are happening in your body and mind?

Maybe I forgot. But it doesn't matter. Recognize and accept the current state, just understand it, don't judge it, touch it as it is, your mindfulness may be beginning. A new perspective of life will gradually open for you. ^[2]
