Everyday Mindfulness

Welcome, tessari! I think the key is to observe them, but without judging them as good or bad. When you don't judge them as bad, they're probably go away the same way they came to your mind. Besides, if you feel you're getting caught up in them, you'll always have your breath, of anything you're tak...

I completely agree with piedwagtail91. Breath is just an "anchor", something to be aware of, something to focus on. We usually is it as an anchor because it's always there (it would be bad new if it weren't there ;) ), but you can be aware of whatever you decide. I pay attention to the bre...

I sit with my eyes closed for my 'formal' practice, where I learn how to be mindful, and then I try to take that state of awareness...

Breath is kind of an anchor, it's always there (thankfully) and you always can focus on it. Once I get that particular state of mind, I try to be aware of what's going...

Thanks for having me! and count on me for anything you need.

So true. Mindfulness changed my life when I decided not to achieve anything. If you practice and try to be present, results will come. Keeping some idea of "enlightenment" in mind while you practice mindfulness and not reaching that point, might lead you to disappointment, and that's not t...
