Mindfulness is simply awareness. Awareness in it’s true sense has no judgement, no agenda, makes nothing right or wrong, it is fully objective. We can bring awareness into any moment in our life and in doing so we become present in our experiences. Awareness allows us to gain more information in any one moment. We are able to more fully see, hear, smell, taste, feel and relate. Have you ever noticed that in some moments you can do several actions and not remember….driving from A to B …hmm how did i get there?… As we get older and do less new activities more and more of our life experience goes on automatic pilot. This means that it requires very little of our attention to do those things and in doing so we relate less and less to the experience.
Remember what it is like doing something for the first time? Isn’t it beautiful watching the excitement and fun of a child as they go through many first experiences? Mindfulness brings us so fully into our experience, in this moment that we are able to experience life with renewed depth, and fullness. This moment is the only truth we have to relate to. Any experience in the past is simply a memory, and future hasn’t occurred as yet. Awareness in this moment is the doorway to creating a life of health, happiness and well-being.
