Mindfulness, a term that refers to totally being in the here and now. A meditation without any traditional flavours of Buddhism, Jainism, Hindiuism or Zen. Being here and now in total attention, without focus, but all including is the key of this mind state. It is as it is at this moment, without being otherwise. Accepting all that is Here and Now and watching the mind, the body and the sensations. As if being the Watcher on the Hill, as seeing it all from afar, detached yet clear and crisp! Here a series of clips from the mindgulness programme, designed by Foundation IOCOB.

A three minute excercise on mindfulness:

And some more:

This state of consciousness is the condition of Mosha, the joy of the empty mind. Here we see how this concept is essentially the core subject of meditation (Indian: Dhyan). The word Dhyan defines the essence of mindfulness better and really captures the essence better than the term meditation. Meditation is a term that in the West is often seen as a kind of concentration, for example at one point or the breathing. Meditation However, the rest in an empty mind. Dhyan conjunction with Chan (Chinese) and is responsible for the Japanese Zen. Thus we see through these terms how the essence of mindfulness associated with a different state of consciousness. The consciousness of an empty mind.

Mindfulness has for our two sides. The side which points to the path of the empty spirit in the side is valuable for patients. Die aspects we can work as therapists in assisting patients. Now something about the latter.

Mindfulness and therapy

Mindfulness can in today's medicine is an important complement to many different and can therapien patients with chronic diseases and, for example, depression and anxiety enormous help processes and acceptance of the handicaps. It is a dimension of our consciousness that we do not know as a Western man, and an enormous enrichment can mean for the patient, but also for the therapist. Because mindfulness is not something that is within a therapeutic relationship, as this is not the therapist also knows from its own experience. The essence of the rest in the empty mind when mindfulness is the relaxation in the 'watcher', in the pure consciousness that perceive ourselves in ho we are, how we move etc. Through continual relax in what has been, and that can be observed creates an identification with the problems and emotions and our whole ego. Then there will be space for new compounds and also, for example, for creativity.
