Living mindfully

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

Think I mentioned on another thread about my spine chilling encounter with a wood pigeon in the local woods when it was getting dark.

Don't you get a bit spooked at night sleeping in the woods Jon?

Must say, feller, have been living in the woods since April and I haven't felt spooked once. Happy as Larry there. Saw my first badger this morning. He took one look at me and ran for the hills. Story of my life. :D
The farmer seems to quite like having me there and sends members of his family up to check on me. So it really feels like home. Miss Banjo a whole lot though...
Cheers,

To be fair, it's a forgotten woods on the outskirts of Lewes. I'm not camping in the most socially deprived area of the Bronx. For days on end, all I hear is the chatter of birds, the occasional cow and maybe the sound of a fox in the undergrowth, waiting for his chance to nick my butter (it has happened - he was the size of an estate car).
It's paradise really.
Cheers,
Jon
