Letter from the Author

Mindfulness is very much in favor at the moment.  It’s used in schools, homes and businesses as one of the most successful ways to deal with everyday stressors.  In a stress-filled society, this makes a lot of sense.  However, for those of us who enter the mindfulness practices through the door of ‘stress management,’ we quickly discover that there is much more to it than making it easier for us to deal with our anxiety and high blood pressure!  It can take us on a healing journey to an awakening to the great beauty of life and the joy it is to be part of it. 

My journey with Mindfulness began with being a real Type A personality; being driven to succeed, and to succeed fast.  My first toe-dip into the strange world of ‘calmness’ and ‘centredness’ came from starting yoga lessons in the hope that I would learn how to relax.  The yoga teacher introduced me to meditation in one of the classes and having read a few articles on the uses of meditation for stress management in typical Type A style I thought it would be a good idea to learn meditation too.  So off I went to those classes as well.  Of course, I had no time to do these given my driven and accelerating career – but I managed to squeeze in a few sessions with the local TM (Transcendental Meditation) teacher.  I’d been ticking the boxes about doing the right things - but my drivenness was still in charge, and I felt frustrated when my blood pressure stayed a little too high and my anxiety levels didn’t change. 

But a strange thing happened.  That little voice inside we sometimes get kept telling me that mindful meditation was important, and I kept practicing it.  This went on for years – and I never really got into meditation in the way that authors wrote about their experience with meditation.  I was so jealous of them, and my relationship with meditation was one of complete failure!  Even more frustrating, as you can imagine.  But I didn’t stop.  I pared the daily time I gave ‘sitting there’ with my mind whirling about right down to 5 minutes every day – but I didn’t stop!

Somewhere along the way, I got interested in why on earth I couldn’t relax, focus, be calm and do all those good things. 

This happened around the time when my weight began to get out of control as I snacked as I ran, never stopped for breakfast or lunches, then stuffed myself in the evenings before falling into bed in a big heap.  As I bought my latest power suit and realized that I had gone up 2 dress sizes in the last year, I suddenly wondered if there was a connection between the relaxation issue and the eating/weight issue.  Duh!  Of course, there was.  They were the symptoms of a big issue I had with my own worth (well... lack of worth, actually).

One day that little voice spoke up again, and it said in no uncertain terms – “be here, NOW.”  No matter how much I distracted myself with work, food, travel, films, my mind kept telling me to STOP.  Look around, use my senses – walk out of the past and my regrets and the self-beating I gave myself,  -walk out of the future where everything I couldn’t control lived and fed my fears and actually live in the present.  Radical!

I’d arrived at Mindfulness. 

My journey to it and with it was long, and I am still on this journey today.  I hope to give you some shortcuts, some perspectives, some principles and some practices that will make it easier for you than I made it for myself.  Enjoy the read.  Keep an open mind and take the time to get REALLY interested in yourself and your life.  You are worth it.

Chapter 1 – The Joy of Mindfulness

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh

What is Mindfulness Anyway?

Mindfulness is a behavior we can learn to help us in some odd moments of a challenging day.  It is also potentially a central part of a way of life that can transform you from a somewhat unhappy, struggling person to someone who is usually happy and optimistic and can handle the pains, pangs, and joy of living well.  Truly!

There is some general confusion about mindfulness and meditation which it is helpful to clear up first.  Meditation is a practice where you set some time aside to focus quietly.  The purpose is to do something positive for yourself by connecting with yourself again and centering so that you can become calm with a clear mind.  Mindfulness is expressly about focusing on the present moment.  It is one style of meditation, and that is where the confusion has arisen. 

Many people use the words interchangeably, and maybe that doesn’t matter as the point of all the other types of meditation and of mindfulness itself, is to bring us to a place of happiness and reality.  A place where we are accepting of Life as it is.
