We
hear a lot about mindfulness these days. But what is it and why should
we be mindful? And if we're mindful, will it help ensure things turn out
okay?
In this dharma talk, given as part of a retreat called Stillness & Insight
at the IMS Retreat Center, Chas DiCapua explains what mindfulness is,
why it’s essential to our liberation, and how we can grow and strengthen
our mindfulness practice.
“Without
mindfulness and without being present and knowing what's happening in
our body and mind, knowing our own experience, the habit patterns of our
heart and mind are going to be in the driver's seat. Our habit patterns
are going to be pulling the levers and switches, in terms of governing
what we say, what we do, and even what we think. When we're mindful, we
have the choice of whether they'll be in the driver's seat or not."
