MindfulLiving

Mindfulness can be applied almost anytime and anywhere, be that standing in a queue, sitting at your desk or carrying out household tasks. You can apply aspects of mindfulness through your breathing or observation of sensations in your body.

Mindfulness at its most basic principle is becoming aware, though few of us have considered the winder context this implies. As you work to apply Mindfulness all day, take the opportunity to grow your experience. As you can become aware of your breathing or sensations in your body, you can progress to become aware of your own thoughts. As you increase your awareness, observe how your thoughts arise within your mind and how your reactions can lead to seemingly unconscious thoughts. The more that you become aware of all aspects of your life, the more profound your mindfulness experiences will be.

Many successful people can vouch for the power of visualisation, the ability to use their brains to create an image of what they want to achieve.

Breathing consciously is an effective means to completely transform energy and to anchor your mind in troubled times. When you find yourself in the midst of a reaction, you might have noticed how your breathing becomes rapid and shallow, your throat becomes tight, and you may even feel a pulsating sensation in your head or solar plexus. Your face may become hot and your chest might begin to tighten up. Conversely, when you are calm, feeling peaceful or happy, you typically breathe effortlessly.

The next time when you experience an adverse reaction to anything in life, do your utmost to apply some conscious breathing. By engaging your mind to bring focus to your breathing for a few minutes, you can begin to moderate your reactions. Then as you begin to take deeper and more rhythmical breaths, they can help you to find an anchor for your calmness. Allow this anchor to grab hold and steady your emotions as you continue to breathe consciously.

Pay your attention to all things in life, they are more important than you may realise. As you give more focus to each passing moment, life will no longer seem to be passing you by. You can use the period of introspection to increase your awareness of your inner self and lead to your own enlightenment.
