Mindfulness Man

Bearing with discomfort

One of the benefits of mindfulness is to be able to stand in situations of discomfort, to be able to wait in discomfort and not be moved by it.
To be able to feel discomfort and investigate it, to dissect it into easily manageable, smaller sensations.
Is pain, discomfort, anxiety, really the solid, immovable block of something that we perceive it to be….or is it tiny occurrences, apparently joined together, constantly changing, look and see…nothing to believe here, this path is experiential.

Letting go of the weight of life

Learn to drop identification with worry...but see it first. See it’s parasitic game and learn t become free.

Smiling when we awaken

People struggle with meditation because they judge the mind for doing what a mind does, wander.
We need to let go of this and even celebrate the seeing of the wandering mind as that is a moment of mindfulness.

The war that rages within you

Learn to let feelings live in you. Rejecting them only gives them strength.

Back to Basics

Today we’re going back to basics, rebuilding the foundations of our practice.
We will be practicing Samatha, the collection of the breath at one point.
This is often called concentration meditation as we are coming into a state of awareness at just one point in order to sharpen the mind.
This mind then becomes a stable tool much more capable of investigating everything else in our experience.

Sensitising the body to breath sensations

Here we look at breath sensations throughout the body.

Who Am I?

Our minds are made up of different personalities. Some positive, some negative. We’re not one solid unchanging person. Our minds are a battleground. Multiple personalities fight for dominance and circumstances and training determine who in our minds will take charge at the moment. Is it the one who wants to eat cake or the one who wants to be slim.
When we become more mindful we learn to interrupt the pattern of the negative mind and make a positive choice.
We are the one who is awake.
