      A nice example of how relation mindfulness can influence psychotherapeutic outcomes on how psychoterapists relate and devlope relations between paients. 
  • mindfulness training can help mental health practitioners increase their understanding and awareness of qualities of mindfulness, as well as to model those processes in sessions with patients.

  • oundlessness, a sense of vast, unrestricted space and time; ultimacy,

  • relational mindfulness most obviously cultivates the spiritual quality of inter-connectedness, improving our sense of unity with a relationship partner

  • Wait, what? If that's true then why is the market flooded with meditation classes, audio guides, books, fancy retreats, phone apps, expensive pillows, bracelets, bobbles, and gizmos
  • Mindfulness is not a modern spiritual movemen
  • It's simply you at your most natural state of being.
  • That was mindfulness. It required nothing of you other than to be there
  • internalized someone else's idea of what it means to be mindful.
  • Maybe you tried it a few times and determined that your experience didn't match up with their description of what it should feel like. So you got frustrated and you quit. "It's too hard." "I'm terrible at it."

      There currently are way to many car accidents every year to due a lack of concentration by the driver. So many innocent lives have been ended tragically early due to carelessness of other drivers on the road, it truly is very sad

      This article is about the dangers of texting on a cell phone while driving and how it takes away from our mindfulness. Multitasking severely decreases our focus and is not a practice of mindfulness. The author explains how mindfulness is important as it allows us to focus on one task at a time. Our cell phone use is an addiction that spikes our dopamine levels through the satisfaction we get from every text or notification. This addiction causes us to not be mindful sometimes and even do something as stupid as text and drive just because we do not realize it or cannot help it.

Both of these concept explains that the perceptive of time and space is different but after several hours of practicing this method, the mind is in another world. Even though you are awake, and are completely aware of the present moment, you are able to have experience that is blissful and memorable.
  • Stepping outside of your own world (literally or figuratively) can lead to this sense of thankfulness and oneness, an emotional surge of compassion for just about everything.

  • is a spiritual or psychological faculty (indriya) that, according to the teaching of the Buddha, is considered to be of great importance in the path to enlightenment.
  • Enlightenment (bodhi) is a state of being in which greed, hatred and delusion (Pali: moha) have been overcome, abandoned and are absent from the mind. Mindfulness, which, among other things, is an attentive awareness of the reality of things (especially of the present moment) is an antidote to delusion and is considered as such a 'power'
