– WHAT IS MINDFULNESS

1. STEP OF MINDFULNESS MEDITATION – BECOME AWARE
In the first step of Mindfulness meditation, we work on awareness. This means that we become aware of what is present in our attention and where our attention is, to know what is here now and what is happening. Only when we know where our attention is we can change something, we can act and meditate, until we know where we are there is no instruction and no meditation. That’s why awareness and being aware is the first step.

2. STEP OF MINDFULNESS MEDITATION – ACCEPT
In the second step, we work on accepting what is in our attention, what distracts us or what is currently present. To accept means that we are not in aversion. This step is crucial for them to know how to meditate. Without sincere acceptance of the present state, there is no further because if we have a thought or emotion and we have not acknowledged it, it means that we are fighting with it, running away from it or ignoring it, and that is non-acceptance or aversion.

3. STEP – TAKE A COMPASSIONATE ATTITUDE
This step is closely related to the previous one because it teaches us HOW to accept, more precisely it teaches us which relationship to establish in order to accept in the healthiest way. In this step, we learn true compassion, a sincere acceptance of discomfort in which we do not try to pretend that it is not there or that it is not challenging, to really feel the pain and open to it is the intelligence of compassion. The word itself means “to feel what is felt” – to co-feel. In this step, we practice the relationship we have with what is present.

4. STEP – DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE YOUR ENERGY
When something is present that we cannot accept or in which we need help because we cannot see with calm eyes, we need to do something. If we are restless and have too many thoughts to calmly follow natural breathing, we start with a slightly deeper breath that is easier to follow, we can work on establishing the same length of inhalation and exhalation or add a simple movement combined with breathing.
