Mindfulness goes further than you think

G'day

The reason mindfulness is simple is it takes things away and strips everything down until there is only present awareness of your experience as it is.

Mindfulness is the conscious existence of this moment. Although this moment might seem mundane and unremarkable, if you stop to be aware of it, the inexplicable presence of life exists.

Since most of us are rather distracted by mentalities, in a state of reactivity and past to future oriented, methods of meditation have been created that help bring attention back to the present where life lives. The mind can be strongly habitualised with tendencies to distraction, rumination and agitation, so it drifts away from the reality often and for extended periods of time. Bringing the mind to rest in the moment involves noticing when it has wandered off and returning to the present.

It is simple because you don't have to be aware since you are actually aware, and you don't have to be present because you already are. This is just realising the truth of the matter in the most immediate and direct sense, and dispelling the delusions.
