+ | <p>Mindfulness and the Power of Living in the Moment</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>"Just walked up TIPA road to Dharamkot after not taking that road in about 2 weeks. And it’s as if I am walking someplace for the first time. Seems familiar but no place I’ve actually been this trip No more whizzing rickshaws to jump aside from or taxi’s rushing up blowing their horns. And only 2 other people were seen the whole way up. As a matter of fact, the only human sound accompanying me the whole way up was the occasional scrape of my hiking boots on the road or the soft rustling of my jeans as my legs brushed against each other. And so the forest came alive! At one place there was a tree standing alone with 18(!) ravens on it just enjoying their perches in the sun and “chatting” quietly with each other. None of their usual shouting and squawking to disturb the peace of the day. It’s as if the change has relaxed them as well. Further up a little hollow in the wood filled with layers of flitting butterflies. Also seeming to have been invited as well to enjoy the peace of the forest. And the foliage has all become richer and greener and more luxuriant. The fronds on the ferns are enormous with brown stems running through their centers. Some as large as huge banana leaves. And the mosses have spread to cover enormous spaces that used to be just dark damp earth. One kind had little “leaves” in the shape of stars with miniscule white pointed “flowers” almost like sitting atop the “leaves”. The cicadas no longer competing with the vehicles or human voices are heard in full force. And many different kinds of bird calls can be heard from the trees,air jordan. The sun is gloriously warm and blessedly obscured from time to time by the shade of the forest. Making the walk the perfect combination of cold crispness and warmth. As I approached Dharamkot, even the lilting voices of the school children seemed almost in an intrusion. A few sparse lower branches seem connected by enormous spider webs. One lone butterfly disappearing inside a clump of low lying rhododendron. A few lonely rays of sunshine manage to beam their way through the thickness of the 20-30 meter high pines to rest on the forest floor which is a combination of pine needles, low greenery, rocks and moss covered earth. Surrounded completely on all sides by total silence, except for the ever present cicadas and distant call of ravens and the occasional magpie. I feel embraced not only by the splendor of the trees all around me, but my Mother Nature herself! The trees soar upwards like needles topped with triangles of green pointed at the sun as if striving to reach the heights of heaven itself,hollister france. And I sit insignificantly here but knowing that I am just as much at home here as the trees! "</p> | ||

+ | <p>Remember: We have nothing if we don’t cherish and enjoy each moment. Live as if we may die tomorrow-make the most of each day. Enjoy the beauty of every minute. Live with youthful enthusiasm for each thing that comes our way. Experience things with all our senses as they happen. Be Mindful. BE…LIVE… </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Before discussing Mindfulness itself, just some food for thought which will lead us into a full discussion of the topic… Previously I wrote about the power of forgiveness in helping us get out from under the Shadow of the Past. (Check out this link<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | for full article). </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Just a couple of examples, one from my own personal experience…I remember my walks in the mountains which I usually did alone, and did not truly appreciate the pleasure of these walks until I started walking with other people. It seemed that everyone who went walking, was walking in order to get somewhere! The walking was goal orientated and they didn’t begin to experience the day until they “got” where they were “going”. I found this all very upsetting, as they walked at a brisk pace, totally unaware of their surroundings, talking about inconsequential things, never once experiencing the walk itself. </p> | ||

You can also check our the website of the nunnery she founded and find more interesting information: I met her on my last trip to India at the nunnery and will post a journal entry about that visit at a later date.

+ | <p>Mindfulness is a concept in Buddhism, but is something which all of us can benefit from understanding. In Buddhist terms “Mind” is defined as awareness of objects or events, rather than “mental factors”, which contain the content of thoughts etc. And from this definition of “mind” comes the simple yet amazingly powerful concept of “mindfulness”. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>It was only after several walks like this that I began to understand the beauty of my isolated walks…I would sometimes walk fast, but mostly just move with the flow of the surroundings. I would look around,hollister, hear my footsteps and the noises of the forest, notice the color of the undergrowth, hear the far away ripple of a brook, see the sun shining through the trees…as a matter of fact, I will post right after this a Journal entry I wrote describing one of these walks…which in itself becomes a kind of Mindfulness Meditation. An exercise in BEING in the NOW! </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Tenzin Palmo (the first Western woman to be ordained as a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition*) speaks about this in her teachings and books as well…” I like Tirimisu very much with coffee and lots of cream-totally degenerate, but I love it. So when I eat tiramisu, it is a very pleasurable thing,burberry. At the first mouthful, I’m completely with the Tirimisu. But by the second mouthful, I am comparing it with a Tirimisu I had somewhere else which was my idea of the perfect Tirimisu, and I’ve lost this one,burberry soldes. For the rest of the mouthfuls, I’m not really eating it anymore. It’s eating itself. I’m already somewhere else, with former glorious Tirimusus which this one should have been but isn’t. </p> | ||

+ | <p>Let's say we have figured out how to release the past and its control over our present. That’s great! But now the big question arises…We’ve managed to escape the past, but where are we NOW living…Being? Are we now able to focus on the present, on the day, on each special, precious moment which comes our way and is over instantaneously? Can we catch the wonder and beauty of each second? Can we experience our life as it unfolds in the moment in all its amazing wonder? Or, are we still living in a place which is not NOW! And if we are no longer burdened by the past, then where are we? </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Now back to the very famous example of simple every day Mindfulness presented by the Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh who writes about the benefits of washing dishes to wash dishes. This is a very important point because normally we wash dishes in order to have clean dishes. Whenever we do anything, we do it to get a result. We write a letter in order to produce a letter which we can then send; we are washing dishes not to wash dishes, but so we can have clean dishes and go on to the next task. As we wash the dishes we are thinking about what we will do next, how e will have a cup of coffee, what somebody said to us this morning,hollister online shop, what TV program we watched last night,hollister online shop, what our kid is doing, what our husband said to us before he went to work. The last thing we have on our mind is the dishes. Then when we come to drink the coffee, we are thinking that after that we have to go shopping and what we are going to buy…or we might even go OUT for coffee with a friend but then we are talking to each other (perhaps even listening to the other person talking), but not really being there with the cup of coffee and its wonderful aroma and taste. Our entire lives pass in this way. Even when we are doing something nice, like eating a delicious meal, we are thinking about dessert. We never even truly enjoy the good things. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Mindfulness is being completely and totally aware of everything you are doing as you are doing it. From simple everyday things such as brushing your teeth in the morning, to driving to work, to sitting at the computer and writing this post. (I make it a point to notice everything that I feel, see, touch, sense at each moment. The breeze from the open window to my right, the hum of the computer, the feel of the hard plastic on my finger tips as I touch type, the growl of my stomach as I put off eating just to get a drop more of this written, the tenseness in my shoulders (which I instantly relax to avoid pain later in the evening), the birds singing outside the window as dusk begins, etc) It means living in the now, savoring every moment, as the moment is ALL we truly have. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Truth be told, most of us are probably abandoning the now for the dream of what will be in the future. Always longing for the time when…always planning for the time we will be able to…always looking for the opportunity which will allow us to…We dwell on things that happened in the past or anticipate future events. But we almost never experience the moment itself. It is for this reason that we often find our lives boring and meaningless. This sense of meaningless does not come from our lives, but from the quality of awareness with which we live our lives. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>It sounds very easy, but after the first minute the mind is already either thinking, “oh, this is easy, very easy to be mindful..I can be mindful anytime….” And where are you? You’re not with the dishes, you are thinking ABOUT the dishes. Or you may be thinking “Hmmm…where did I get this dish? Ah yes…it was part of a set…where is the rest of the set…?” etc. It is very difficult to remember to be present. It’s easy to be present once we remember. But if we can do that, if we can bring this quality into our daily lives as often as possible, even for a couple of minutes each time, we will open up whole new vistas of awareness. Each moment will bring new understanding and pleasure to us, and we will truly begin to understand the wonders of each moment, of BEING in the present, which is all we truly have. In a future article I will write about Mindfulness Meditation**, which takes the above exercise one step further, but for now, even washing the dishes, or walking to the supermarket, or working on the computer, can be a form of meditation if it is done with mindfulness and if we remain completely in the moment. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>And where does that leave us today? Craving, discontented, unfulfilled, lonely,hollister france, jealous and completely unaware of, and unable to experience the joy of each moment. Waiting to finish school, waiting to get out of the army, finally going on our travels but then thinking all the time about what we have to do when the trip is over, waiting to find that special someone, waiting for the baby to sit up, to walk,hollister, to say his first word, waiting for the kids to leave home, waiting to retire…,hollister.and before you know it,hollister pas cher, life is over and we are still waiting for…what? And what happened to all those precious moments in between? How many of them do we remember? How often did we savor the delicious moment? How often did we look at the sky, at the grass, feel the breeze, notice the insects, examine a flower, see the animal tracks on the path, feel the hand of our lover or our child, REALLY listen to someone talking or to the sounds of Nature, hear the hum of the electric appliance running in our house (!)…notice the silence when there is an electricity cut. How often do we actually HEAR, pay attention to, enjoy the music we are listening to? How often to we see the smile, or sadness on our children’s’ faces, pay full attention to their stories when they come home from school…How often do we really fully experience the moment? </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Back to Thich Nhat Hanh who asks “Why not wash dishes just to wash dishes?” We get clean dishes anyway! But it means that while we are washing the dishes, we are completely with it. There is no action in the world more important at that moment than washing the dishes because that is what we are doing. Everything else is just our thoughts. But the thing happening in the moment is the actual reality and, therefore, the most important thing,abercormbie france. If we miss it now, we miss it forever, because we can never get that “now” time back once it has passed. So let’s try to wash the dishes and just know we are washing the dishes. It’s not a big deal. We are conscious that we are standing at the sink. Now the hand is picking up a dish. We can feel the water. We can feel the soap suds. We are conscious of what we are washing. We are completely attentive to what is happening in that moment. In this way we become centered in the moment, and that moment is all we ever really have. Our whole life is made up of moment after moment after moment. If we miss these moments through thinking about something else, they are gone forever. If you try this, you will discover that it is extraordinarily difficult. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>You can skip over the following Journal Entry and go on to further discussion of Mindfulness and the example of washing dishes and come back to reading this later, or read it now to get a better feeling for what I am trying to describe and then continue on with the rest of the post. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p>We do this every day, not only with what we think of as unpleasant things like washing the dishes, but also with pleasant things. We’re not there. We don’t experience it.” </p> | ||

strike up a good rapport
Good sales are possible with a skilled cold caller. They can grab the listeners’ attention, inquire about their needs, strike up a good rapport, and then explain how their lives would be much easier if they use the products or services being offered by the client of the telemarketers. Professional telemarketers are also not hard to find. Various cold calling services are available around the world,hollister, offering more or less similar services between competitors. You just have to choose carefully as there are some firms who are nothing more than frauds. But if you’re careful enough,abercrombie france, then you won’t have to face that problem. As long as you do your research then you can avoid all the troubles that are associated with a partnership with a bad telemarketing firm that offers sloppy, and unethical, cold calling tactics.

In business, getting the most sales is good. Being profitable is still the name of the game. If they want to stay ahead of the competition, then they should give cold calling services a try. This is a method that has withstood the test of time. Companies still use it,air jordan pas cher. That means it still works. How it will affect the performance of your firm will depend largely in you choosing the right telemarketers to work with. Why not think of this as an investment for your business? It might actually work.
The negative perception of people regarding to cold calling could be traced to the above sentence,hollister deutschland. Over the years,abercormbie france, more and more telemarketers are being pressured by their clients (or their company employers), to “deliver the numbers.” This creates pressure to them that often results to practices that are not even deemed to be acceptable in any kind of call,abercrombie. It’s just fortunate that these practices are being cleaned up by telemarketing associations, with the help of government authorities who also want to protect the people being affected by it. It does seem like an uphill battle,burberry soldes, but in the long run, it will turn out to be all right. We might even see telemarketing getting its lost reputation back. It can happen.
Cold calling is a branch of telemarketing where a cold caller calls out to prospects who are not expecting your call,abercrombie, hence the cold part of the conversation. Although many people think of this strategy as more of a nuisance than a viable tactic,hollister france, many firms think of this as an effective means to improve their sales performance. Cold calling services are pretty good in providing opportunities for the firm to make more sales by opening up new markets, or in some cases, expanding their current market by inviting those who are not buying the products or services being offered yet. Telemarketers are pretty much skilled in doing this kind of work, and there are plenty of tasks that are best left for these professionals to handle.
Being in the sales business can be quite a stressful affair for many firms. After all, it’s not easy to do business with strangers,abercormbie. You will need to use all the resources available if you want to remain profitable. To make sure that happens,hollister online shop, you’ll need the help of professional telemarketers. These are the people who are trained for this particular task,hollister. They can perform appointment setting and lead generation services to their clients, and ensure that you can be given enough opportunities to improve your business. It’s a very simple strategy, but this is one that has proven its usefulness over the decades it’s been used. You should give it a try. It might just be the perfect match for your needs. It’s a good investment.

The flower preservation company will wait until the flowers no longer contain moisture. From there, they will then begin to preserve your flowers in the same style as the wedding pattern based on the photograph.

my brothers and sisters rode
Banjo died at the ripe old age of 30, a few years ago now. I had long since moved away and made the difficult decision to leave him behind with my family, rather than hauling him interstate wherever my career took me. I’ve never regretted that decision, because he was well loved and well cared for at home. Still, I often thought of him and wished I could have him with me.

By the end of the summer holidays, I’d saved enough money to buy Banjo, a (to anyone else) rather ordinary Australian Stock Horse gelding. To me he was absolutely beautiful! He was a lovely light bay, with a star, a snip, and one white sock. He cost me $275,hollister france, but he was worth his weight in gold. I named him Banjo after Banjo Paterson, a famous bush poet from Australia’s colorful past and the author of The Man from Snowy River, Waltzing Matilda, and numerous other Aussie classics.
The best Christmas present I’ve ever received was a bridle. My dad gave it to me even before I had a horse to go in it. You see, he believed in me and in my dream to have a horse of my own.
(In case you’re a fan of the movie, or just up for a bit of vicarious adventure on a cold winter evening, let me tantalize you with the first few lines of The Man from Snowy River: “There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around / that the colt from old Regret had got away / and had joined the wild bush horses—he was worth a thousand pound / so all the cracks had gathered to the fray...” Read on at ,hollister.au/mansnowy.html)
We’d always had horses,hollister online shop. My mum rode, my brothers and sisters rode, I rode. (Dad was the only one in our family who didn’t ride, but he supported our equestrian interests all the same,burberry soldes.) I’d never had a horse of my own, though. So,abercormbie france, one summer, during the school holidays, I worked in a factory and earned enough money to buy my own horse.

[This article was first published in the December, 2006 issue of Northwest Horse Source]
Just so that my story makes sense, I’ll tell you that I grew up in Australia, where Christmas falls in the middle of the summer school holidays. That Christmas, long before I’d saved enough to buy my horse, my dad gave me a bridle, wrapped in a plain brown paper bag,burberry. (Dad was never one for formalities.) By anyone else’s standards, it was rather ordinary: a plain leather bridle with a cheap nickel-plated snaffle bit (although it did have a shiny gold browband). To me it was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t wait to find the horse who would go in it!
Anyway, to get back to my more pedestrian tale,hollister france, I bought Banjo with my summer work money just a week before school started. Throughout the school year I rode almost every day, even getting up at 4:30 am so that I could ride before leaving for school. We went to Pony Club every meet and went on trail rides the other weekends. We had many wonderful adventures together during my school years.
This Christmas give the gift of believing in someone you love. Even if you think they’re nuts to even try,hollister, let them know you’re behind their efforts to reach for their dreams. You’ll be giving that person more than you could possibly know,abercrombie uk.
Dad has since passed away, too. Of all the memories I have of him, the most precious are about how he believed in me and my desire to have a horse of my own,hollister france, and later to go to vet school. I didn’t realize it at the time, but his simple belief that I’d succeed fueled the realization of my dreams.
Banjo was my living model all through vet school, and he stood patiently while I poked and prodded and learned my way around a horse from a vet’s perspective. He was the first horse I treated for colic (so I know how scary it can be when your horse colics!), the first horse I did any dentistry on, the first horse whose feet I trimmed,abercrombie, and numerous other firsts,hollister.

" Florence Scovel Shinn explains the law as follows
But, as usual, the best approach is to try it for yourself and see.
And a great way to start trying it is by using the following affirmation:
Well,hollister, it was not invented by Rhonda Byrne,hollister france, the producer of The Secret, or by any of her many guests (Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor,hollister france, Bill Harris and others).
Because the law is always working in the background, and always has been regardless of your knowledge of it.
Author's Bio:
As you can see, the philosophy behind the Law of Attraction maps onto the use of affirmations: consciously set your attention on that which you desire to experience, maintain your focus on your desire, and then allow the unseen forces to work through you to manifest your desire.
And while it's worth noting that The Secret movie (and Rhonda Byrne's book by the same name) definately gave the law a huge boost in popularity, the philosophy behind it has actually been around for at least a hundred years.
"I am open to new ways of knowing how affirmations can work for me."
And while what happens next might seem magical, there really is no magic involved,abercormbie. That is, money won’t drop out of the sky or appear on your kitchen table when you wake in the morning.
Best of all, if you've been using affirmations already but have not yet learned much about the Law of Attraction, it doesn't really matter. Why?
Since the release of The Secret movie a few years ago, the "Law of Attraction" has become more mainstream. But where did this law, and all it speaks of, come from?
The bottom line is that by focusing on certain things (by using affirmations or another method), those things seem to appear more often than not.
The Best Approach of All
In the early 1900s, the New Thought movement often used the term "Law of Attraction". Since then, other authors referred to it or presented similar positive thinking methods,hollister, including:
"The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always 'pulling the strings' himself, though he does not know it,hollister. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices,hollister pas cher, he begins to attract."
o Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich)
o Wallace Wattles (The Science of Getting Rich, which was also the inspiration for The Secret)
o Florence Scovel Shinn (The Game of Life and How to Play It)
o Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life)
o Esther and Jerry Hicks channelling Abraham (Ask and It Is Given)
o Joe Vitale (The Attractor Factor)
1. Know exactly what you want.
2. Ask the Universe for it.
3,air jordan. Feel,hollister france, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way.
4,air jordan pas cher. Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.
In "The Game of Life and How to Play It," Florence Scovel Shinn explains the law as follows:
A Law is Born

Mindfulness and the Power of Living in the Moment
"Just walked up TIPA road to Dharamkot after not taking that road in about 2 weeks. And it’s as if I am walking someplace for the first time. Seems familiar but no place I’ve actually been this trip No more whizzing rickshaws to jump aside from or taxi’s rushing up blowing their horns. And only 2 other people were seen the whole way up. As a matter of fact, the only human sound accompanying me the whole way up was the occasional scrape of my hiking boots on the road or the soft rustling of my jeans as my legs brushed against each other. And so the forest came alive! At one place there was a tree standing alone with 18(!) ravens on it just enjoying their perches in the sun and “chatting” quietly with each other. None of their usual shouting and squawking to disturb the peace of the day. It’s as if the change has relaxed them as well. Further up a little hollow in the wood filled with layers of flitting butterflies. Also seeming to have been invited as well to enjoy the peace of the forest. And the foliage has all become richer and greener and more luxuriant. The fronds on the ferns are enormous with brown stems running through their centers. Some as large as huge banana leaves. And the mosses have spread to cover enormous spaces that used to be just dark damp earth. One kind had little “leaves” in the shape of stars with miniscule white pointed “flowers” almost like sitting atop the “leaves”. The cicadas no longer competing with the vehicles or human voices are heard in full force. And many different kinds of bird calls can be heard from the trees,air jordan. The sun is gloriously warm and blessedly obscured from time to time by the shade of the forest. Making the walk the perfect combination of cold crispness and warmth. As I approached Dharamkot, even the lilting voices of the school children seemed almost in an intrusion. A few sparse lower branches seem connected by enormous spider webs. One lone butterfly disappearing inside a clump of low lying rhododendron. A few lonely rays of sunshine manage to beam their way through the thickness of the 20-30 meter high pines to rest on the forest floor which is a combination of pine needles, low greenery, rocks and moss covered earth. Surrounded completely on all sides by total silence, except for the ever present cicadas and distant call of ravens and the occasional magpie. I feel embraced not only by the splendor of the trees all around me, but my Mother Nature herself! The trees soar upwards like needles topped with triangles of green pointed at the sun as if striving to reach the heights of heaven itself,hollister france. And I sit insignificantly here but knowing that I am just as much at home here as the trees! "
**Good first book on the topic: “Mindfulness Meditation for Everyday” by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Remember: We have nothing if we don’t cherish and enjoy each moment. Live as if we may die tomorrow-make the most of each day. Enjoy the beauty of every minute. Live with youthful enthusiasm for each thing that comes our way. Experience things with all our senses as they happen. Be Mindful. BE…LIVE…
Before discussing Mindfulness itself, just some food for thought which will lead us into a full discussion of the topic… Previously I wrote about the power of forgiveness in helping us get out from under the Shadow of the Past. (Check out this link
for full article).
Just a couple of examples, one from my own personal experience…I remember my walks in the mountains which I usually did alone, and did not truly appreciate the pleasure of these walks until I started walking with other people. It seemed that everyone who went walking, was walking in order to get somewhere! The walking was goal orientated and they didn’t begin to experience the day until they “got” where they were “going”. I found this all very upsetting, as they walked at a brisk pace, totally unaware of their surroundings, talking about inconsequential things, never once experiencing the walk itself.
* Recommended reading either about or by this amazing English born woman- who lived for 12 years in a cave in the Himalayas and has become a living legend: “Cave in the Snow” by Vicki Mackenzie; “Reflections on a Mountain Lake” by Tenzin Palmo. You can also check our the website of the nunnery she founded and find more interesting information: I met her on my last trip to India at the nunnery and will post a journal entry about that visit at a later date. If you are interested in hearing more about her, you can comment here and I will get back to you.
Mindfulness is a concept in Buddhism, but is something which all of us can benefit from understanding. In Buddhist terms “Mind” is defined as awareness of objects or events, rather than “mental factors”, which contain the content of thoughts etc. And from this definition of “mind” comes the simple yet amazingly powerful concept of “mindfulness”.
It was only after several walks like this that I began to understand the beauty of my isolated walks…I would sometimes walk fast, but mostly just move with the flow of the surroundings. I would look around,hollister, hear my footsteps and the noises of the forest, notice the color of the undergrowth, hear the far away ripple of a brook, see the sun shining through the trees…as a matter of fact, I will post right after this a Journal entry I wrote describing one of these walks…which in itself becomes a kind of Mindfulness Meditation. An exercise in BEING in the NOW!
Tenzin Palmo (the first Western woman to be ordained as a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition*) speaks about this in her teachings and books as well…” I like Tirimisu very much with coffee and lots of cream-totally degenerate, but I love it. So when I eat tiramisu, it is a very pleasurable thing,burberry. At the first mouthful, I’m completely with the Tirimisu. But by the second mouthful, I am comparing it with a Tirimisu I had somewhere else which was my idea of the perfect Tirimisu, and I’ve lost this one,burberry soldes. For the rest of the mouthfuls, I’m not really eating it anymore. It’s eating itself. I’m already somewhere else, with former glorious Tirimusus which this one should have been but isn’t.

Let's say we have figured out how to release the past and its control over our present. That’s great! But now the big question arises…We’ve managed to escape the past, but where are we NOW living…Being? Are we now able to focus on the present, on the day, on each special, precious moment which comes our way and is over instantaneously? Can we catch the wonder and beauty of each second? Can we experience our life as it unfolds in the moment in all its amazing wonder? Or, are we still living in a place which is not NOW! And if we are no longer burdened by the past, then where are we?
Now back to the very famous example of simple every day Mindfulness presented by the Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh who writes about the benefits of washing dishes to wash dishes. This is a very important point because normally we wash dishes in order to have clean dishes. Whenever we do anything, we do it to get a result. We write a letter in order to produce a letter which we can then send; we are washing dishes not to wash dishes, but so we can have clean dishes and go on to the next task. As we wash the dishes we are thinking about what we will do next, how e will have a cup of coffee, what somebody said to us this morning,hollister online shop, what TV program we watched last night,hollister online shop, what our kid is doing, what our husband said to us before he went to work. The last thing we have on our mind is the dishes. Then when we come to drink the coffee, we are thinking that after that we have to go shopping and what we are going to buy…or we might even go OUT for coffee with a friend but then we are talking to each other (perhaps even listening to the other person talking), but not really being there with the cup of coffee and its wonderful aroma and taste. Our entire lives pass in this way. Even when we are doing something nice, like eating a delicious meal, we are thinking about dessert. We never even truly enjoy the good things.
Mindfulness is being completely and totally aware of everything you are doing as you are doing it. From simple everyday things such as brushing your teeth in the morning, to driving to work, to sitting at the computer and writing this post. (I make it a point to notice everything that I feel, see, touch, sense at each moment. The breeze from the open window to my right, the hum of the computer, the feel of the hard plastic on my finger tips as I touch type, the growl of my stomach as I put off eating just to get a drop more of this written, the tenseness in my shoulders (which I instantly relax to avoid pain later in the evening), the birds singing outside the window as dusk begins, etc) It means living in the now, savoring every moment, as the moment is ALL we truly have.
Truth be told, most of us are probably abandoning the now for the dream of what will be in the future. Always longing for the time when…always planning for the time we will be able to…always looking for the opportunity which will allow us to…We dwell on things that happened in the past or anticipate future events. But we almost never experience the moment itself. It is for this reason that we often find our lives boring and meaningless. This sense of meaningless does not come from our lives, but from the quality of awareness with which we live our lives.
It sounds very easy, but after the first minute the mind is already either thinking, “oh, this is easy, very easy to be mindful..I can be mindful anytime….” And where are you? You’re not with the dishes, you are thinking ABOUT the dishes. Or you may be thinking “Hmmm…where did I get this dish? Ah yes…it was part of a set…where is the rest of the set…?” etc. It is very difficult to remember to be present. It’s easy to be present once we remember. But if we can do that, if we can bring this quality into our daily lives as often as possible, even for a couple of minutes each time, we will open up whole new vistas of awareness. Each moment will bring new understanding and pleasure to us, and we will truly begin to understand the wonders of each moment, of BEING in the present, which is all we truly have. In a future article I will write about Mindfulness Meditation**, which takes the above exercise one step further, but for now, even washing the dishes, or walking to the supermarket, or working on the computer, can be a form of meditation if it is done with mindfulness and if we remain completely in the moment.
And where does that leave us today? Craving, discontented, unfulfilled, lonely,hollister france, jealous and completely unaware of, and unable to experience the joy of each moment. Waiting to finish school, waiting to get out of the army, finally going on our travels but then thinking all the time about what we have to do when the trip is over, waiting to find that special someone, waiting for the baby to sit up, to walk,hollister, to say his first word, waiting for the kids to leave home, waiting to retire…,hollister.and before you know it,hollister pas cher, life is over and we are still waiting for…what? And what happened to all those precious moments in between? How many of them do we remember? How often did we savor the delicious moment? How often did we look at the sky, at the grass, feel the breeze, notice the insects, examine a flower, see the animal tracks on the path, feel the hand of our lover or our child, REALLY listen to someone talking or to the sounds of Nature, hear the hum of the electric appliance running in our house (!)…notice the silence when there is an electricity cut. How often do we actually HEAR, pay attention to, enjoy the music we are listening to? How often to we see the smile, or sadness on our children’s’ faces, pay full attention to their stories when they come home from school…How often do we really fully experience the moment?
Back to Thich Nhat Hanh who asks “Why not wash dishes just to wash dishes?” We get clean dishes anyway! But it means that while we are washing the dishes, we are completely with it. There is no action in the world more important at that moment than washing the dishes because that is what we are doing. Everything else is just our thoughts. But the thing happening in the moment is the actual reality and, therefore, the most important thing,abercormbie france. If we miss it now, we miss it forever, because we can never get that “now” time back once it has passed. So let’s try to wash the dishes and just know we are washing the dishes. It’s not a big deal. We are conscious that we are standing at the sink. Now the hand is picking up a dish. We can feel the water. We can feel the soap suds. We are conscious of what we are washing. We are completely attentive to what is happening in that moment. In this way we become centered in the moment, and that moment is all we ever really have. Our whole life is made up of moment after moment after moment. If we miss these moments through thinking about something else, they are gone forever. If you try this, you will discover that it is extraordinarily difficult.
You can skip over the following Journal Entry and go on to further discussion of Mindfulness and the example of washing dishes and come back to reading this later, or read it now to get a better feeling for what I am trying to describe and then continue on with the rest of the post.
We do this every day, not only with what we think of as unpleasant things like washing the dishes, but also with pleasant things. We’re not there. We don’t experience it.”
