If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The real meditation practice is how we live our lives from moment to moment to moment.
With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.
To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.
Meditation is about getting to a place where you're approaching things in a more calm, centering place rather than allowing yourself to get caught up in it.
While you are meditating, if your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the present moment.
Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.
Well, when you're relaxed, your mind takes you to the whole reality. There's no such thing as time when you're really relaxed. That's why meditation works.
Mindfulness is often spoken of as the heart of Buddhist meditation. It's not about Buddhism, but about paying attention. That's what all meditation is, no matter what tradition or particular technique is used.
Correct meditation means correctly understanding your situation moment by moment - what are you doing now? Only do it! Then, each action is complete; each action is enough. Then no thinking, so each moment I can perceive everything just like this.
Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.
