Mindfulness is the Art to live fully in the here and now, completely focused on what we are doing.
The concept is simple but its application is a lifetime work, as our mind tends to linger on the past or dream of the future – while pondering past events or planning our future may be useful when chosen – being mindful of the present moment allows more efficiency and peace of mind.
A famous quote from Kung Fu Panda says something like: “The past is gone, the future is yet to come, present is a gift, that’s why it’s called present”
The present moment is the space where we decide and take action, it is in fact where we build our life and mindfulness allows us to be aware of our thoughts, emotions but also of any external opportunity coming our way.
Mindfulness training has to be daily, even only few minutes, in order for the mind to get into the habit of being present without judgment.
The 3 minutes breathing space, perpetual meditation or the practice of Shiné (from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition) are good techniques to train in Mindfulness.
