The moment you utter the word ‘mindfulness’ in certain crowds, eyeballs are bound to roll. Yet it is a simple word and it is one of the methods that help us to live in the moment, to embrace the Now.
Simply put, mindfulness just implies awareness or consciousness of life and things around you. It simply implies being there, being fully present as to fully know and feel what is going on in that instant without any judgment. No wonder we can see that being mindful is one of the key ways to fully live in the now.
Our minds always waver and wander from one thought to the next, one worry to another. Life sometimes feels like a series of problems to solve. Most of us spend life jumping from hoop to hoop, unaware of the direction where we are headed and why.
When we are in the state of mindfulness, our mind is more conscious of things around us and of the flow of energies. This means that we are free to grab wonderful opportunities as they come. An open mind and an open eye offer a greater perspective and insight.
