Mindfulness

 

The present moment is

changing so fast that we

often do not notice its

existence at all. Every

moment of mind is like a

series of pictures passing

through a projector. Some

of the pictures come from

sense impressions. Others

come from memories of

past experiences or from

fantasies of the future.

Mindfulness helps us freeze

the frame so that we can

become aware of our

sensations and experiences

as they are, without the

distorting coloration of

socially conditioned

responses or habitual

reactions.
