Modern Wisdom
The Power of Mindfulness & Meditation
Meditation is a period of time set aside for paying attention without distractions./nOnce you understand the power of meditation, your entire life becomes a practice of mindfulness./nMindfulness involves noticing thoughts, emotions, and experiencing without judgment./nContractedness in the mind can arise from grasping at pleasant experiences or pushing away unpleasant ones./nMindfulness allows for a non-judgmental willingness to feel both pleasant and unpleasant experiences./nBy recognizing awareness as a clear mirror, one can drop back and experience open receptivity./nRelief comes from recognizing oneself as the mirror of awareness and allowing experiences to come and go./nMindfulness shares similarities with stoicism in recognizing the impermanence of the universe and the power of perception.
