Mindfulness Meditation Is The Embrace

In Its Outward Manifestation, Meditation Appears To Involve Either Stopping, By Parking The Body In A Stillness That Suspends Activity, Or Giving Oneself Over To Flowing Movement. In Either Case, It Is An Embodiment Of Wise Attention, An Inward Gesture Undertaken For The Most Part In Silence, A Shift From Doing To Simply Being. It Is An Act That May At First Seem Artificial But That We Soon Discover, If We Keep At It, Is Ultimately One Of Pure Love For The Life Unfolding Within Us And Around Us.

Generosity Is Another Quality Which, Like Patience, Letting Go, Non-judging, And Trust, Provides A Solid Foundation For Mindfulness Practice. You Might Experiment With Using The Cultivation Of Generosity As A Vehicle For Deep Self-observation And Inquiry As Well As An Exercise In Giving. A Good Place To Start Is With Yourself. See If You Can Give Yourself Gifts That May Be True Blessings, Such As Self-acceptance, Or Some Time Each Day With No Purpose. Practice Feeling Deserving Enough To Accept These Gifts Without Obligation-to Simply Receive From Yourself, And From The Universe.

Acknowledging That Sometimes, Often At Very Crucial Times, You Really Have No Idea Where You Are Going Or Even Where The Path Lies. A The Same Time, You Can Very Well Know Something About Where You Are Now (even If It Is Knowing That You Are Lost, Confused, Enraged Or Without Hope).

In Asian Languages, The Word For Mind And The Word For Heart Are The Same Word.
