Mindfulness

One of the latest concepts of modern therapy is Mindfulness.
It is discovered and brought to us as a good tool to achieve concentration and inner peace.
The funny thing is that Mindfulness exists for thousands of years in Zen traditions and it is a way to achieve ultimate focus in non-being , or illumination.

Practicing Mindfulness is like the positive affirmations, the more you recite that you are only a miracle of love, the more your shadow side will bang on the door to be seen. In this way it will help us to bring light to our shadow and balance or integrate our being. Most of our shadow is unconscious, therefore shining a little light there will make us aware of its existence.

Mindfulness or Zazen, as it may be called in the ancient practice, has a same sort of effect.
The more we practice unity and inner peace, the more it will help us understand how restless we really are in the western world.
It is a journey into the realm of our Soul and our responses to an ever more dynamic or challenging world.

Mindfulness, a mind full of nothingness.
