Mindfulness practice

Contemplation practice. Also known as mindfulness practice.

I suggest you print this out and keep it with you until you have the time and space to complete the exercise. It will be of no help to you if you simply read it. What you need to do is experience it.

Wherever you are, look around.

Notice something you have not noticed before.

Let it be.

                Just as it is. Simply IS.

                No classification, no evaluation, no competition

                                                                                      with any other object in the universe.

And you? What thoughts are moving through your mind?

                                Let them move on. Don’t engage them.

Let the object remain naked.

Don’t go trying to clothe it with something coming from your mind.

Remove anything that has been added to the object

   since you first gazed on it.

Simply let it be.

                Respect it.

                Appreciate it.

                Savor it.

                Celebrate it.

                Take joy in it.

Once you are filled with that joy, let your eyes move to something else.

Begin again. This time the process will take less time.
