What being mindful means to me

Mindfulness is not for me an above the neck activity. It's not limited to the mind. It includes my spine, skin, stomach, and bones. It's a heart-centered whole-body practice.

When I'm mindful all my physical senses and intuition are open and on high receive. I'm grounded, centered, calm, and relaxed. My focus is open and broad rather than tight and narrow. My own thoughts and emotions are as still as a motionless pond. They do not interfere. I smile and fully attend without judgment to the other. I am the other or rather there is no I, only other.

When I am mindful of spirit, there is only that which animates the other: spirit with all of its individual and unique qualities.
