I consider few cases to explain the importance of MINDFULNESS.
One day my friend and i planned to go out,When we are starting from our place my friend got a doubt whether she locked the door or not.she was unable to recollect what exactly happened.Why do you think she was unable to recollect ??
The Project Manager assigned a project to the team.In that team Raj is afraid of deadlines.He often looks stressed and tensed.Why do you think Raj looks stressed and tensed ??
When a student don't listen to the class ,the teacher says your body is present and the mind is absent.Why do you think the student didn't listen to the class ??
Not only in the above stated cases but also one faces difficulty in quick decision making,multi tasking,lack of concentration etc.Here comes the importance of Mindfulness...
Mindfulness is the state of being conscious and one's awareness on the present moment.
When you are Mindful you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance without judging them good or bad.
The practice of Mindfulness through Meditation changes the wiring and the makeup of our brains.
There are different methods in Meditation.One of the methods is Concentration on Breathing.
To practice this method
1. choose a pleasant and a calm place.
2. Sit in a comfortable way as you wish but try to keep your hands together and the legs one over the other in a overlapped way.
3. Then try to concentrate on your breath .
4. When trying to concentrate on your breath a lot of thoughts come into the mind.Let it be.You try to concentrate on your breath.
I conclude by a quote " Drink your tea slowly and reverently as if it is the axis on which
the world earth revolves without rushing toward the future.Live the actual moment.Only this
moment is life ".
