Everyday Mindfulness

Does anyone have a my tips for preventing mindfulness becoming a repetitive habitual routine that can make the mind dull rather than spontaneous and alive? Do you think that is a danger of a fixed and regular mindfulness practise?

You can see that those who pursue a system, who drive the mind into certain practices, obviously condition the mind according to that formula; therefore, the mind is not free. It is only the free mind that can discover, not a mind conditioned according to any system, whether Oriental or Occidental. Conditioning is the same, by whatever name you may call it. To see the truth, there must be freedom, and a mind that is conditioned according to a system can never see the truth.

Vary meditations from week to week. Sitting with eyes closed is not the only option.
Read around the subject.
Connect with like-minded souls. I started a mindfulness meet-up group in my home town of Brighton. After three years the group had 575 members. I made some great friends through the group. It cost me less than ten pounds a month to run.
Become more active on this forum. I'm always surprised and not a little disappointed to see how many members disappear as soon as they get their questions answered. Stick around and help us grow this mindful community.

Wow 575, that's excellent. Was that using the meetup.com website?

Hi Stephen. It was, yes. I'm now living in a tent and I'm unlikely to be in one place for long so a friend has taken that group on. I'm looking into the idea of having a kind of pop-up group I could operate whenever I arrive in a new town.

Living in a tent!? By choice rather than by necessity I presume? How long have you been doing that?

Just had a look at your website. Excellent idea, hope it goes well :-)
I'm planning on doing a podcast interviewing experienced mindfulness practitioners and I'd love to interview you for it.
