Most Zen Masters and other spiritual guide recommends mindfulness, every day. You can probably assume that this is a universal recommendation. The question arises: why?
In fact, the benefits of mindfulness is quite unclear. They have nothing to do with creating a better world, changing for the better, morality, helping others, creating new things, develop, whether such profits. Mindfulness, is the observation itself from moment to moment, observing the movements of their thoughts, emotions and body. Instead of actively working on improving yourself, or whether the world, we have directed attention somewhere else. To measure yourself and explore a combination of different stimuli with different responses, and even more specifically, to look at the internal roads, which our responses go. Quite a seemingly futile activity.
But emerging from this observation, or better said of that state of observation, rather strange conclusion. One of many possible. This proposal, if reducing it to one sentence, this overwhelming awareness of how much turmoil, how much chaos, how much turmoil introduce itself to the world. How many barriers to finally put myself. as quickly and unobtrusively in the background working machine, which is clean, so to speak loftily, Reality, modifies, upośrednia and finally blurs.
the whole multitude of examples. Present in the background, quickly running processes include: • Continuous assessment
self, others, situations. In fact, it is constantly present question is whether everything is going well? Whether it's for something I need it? Like it or not I like? For example, waiting for the elevator świdruje in mind the question: why so long? Just today, when in a hurry? So many people must benefit from this lift?
• Compare to the desired state. We should stop? The roads are terrible, you can not ride them in your car? As they go at all, why so slow? Yet I am terribly hurry? How much you can stand in the queue for cash? Does she (cashier) can not be a bit more efficient?
• Anxiety, fear. What if I'm late? Again colostrum? I will not do that ...
• Planning. Doing one thing, for example, by writing this text, I wonder whether anyone reads it, what would happen? Can not we write this?
clipper constantly, moment by moment, is working tirelessly. And so it will be for the rest of the world. The only chance that if I catch sometimes razor "in flagrante delicto," then slows the machine, slightly red, even, sometimes, he apologizes. Then again goes into motion. But I no longer dictate the pace and nature of my reaction. And that is enough to see that it followed all: building a better world, change yourself, help others. And this is so because, first, less preoccupied with themselves have a chance to be and, secondly, a bit more clearly see the matter, in all their brilliance, things to see.
It is enough to agree with those who advocate awareness.
