Zitat des Tages über Achtsamkeit / Mindfulness:
With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.
As a Catholic, I find mindfulness helps me participate in my religion more wholeheartedly. If you are praying the rosary, participating in the rituals at Mass, or listening to the priest preach, you will actually be paying attention! Whatever your religion is, it can enhance the experience of participating in that religion.
If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.
Mindfulness means being aware of how you're deploying your attention and making decisions about it, and not letting the tweet or the buzzing of your BlackBerry call your attention.

We can have skills training in mindfulness so that we are using our attention to perceive something in the present moment.
