In my last post about the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" got in a comment the question of what exactly is mindfulness. Precise understanding of this concept is difficult, and I think the best first read the book, and later practiced Zen for a while and come to understand itself.
Such an approach would suggest to you that I do not know until the end of what is mindfulness. In a sense it is, but as I have read the aforementioned position I am in the privileged position that I know more than the average person.
Mindfulness is a term corresponding to Polish English Mindfulness. But remember that this is not the English began to write down the basis for the philosophy of Zen. The original word that is the equivalent of trying to be just "mindfulness" or sattipathana , meant as much as full consciousness and the process of reaching this state . The ZEN
mindfulness is a basic feature of a full life, an awareness of who we are and our interaction with the environment. It is aware that this environment we are inseparable element. Every moment is to be lived as fully must be lived carefully. A simple example is a conversation during dinner. If you want to experience it carefully first, we must be aware of everything that is related to the conversation and dinner. Our attention should be focused on the content of the conversation, but also to taste food eaten. It is not enough, plus we should be aware of everything that is happening at the moment, all our thoughts, behaviors and feelings. It's very, very difficult, but it seems possible and the easier they are less distracted, more focused actually lived in the moment. Very helpful in practicing mindfulness is jednowątkowość contrasted so popular lately multithreading.
I hope this very short explanation of the concept of mindfulness will help you decide whether you want to explore more of his essence, and perhaps dismiss them as totally unsuitable for your philosophy of life.
