No doubt, one should be mindful in life, in terms of being aware of events, one’s surroundings and the like. But what exactly is Mindful made of and what are its consequences? How far do we go in Mindfulling ourselves up?
What Exactly Is ‘Being Mindful’?
‘Mindfulness’ is a simple way of stabilising one or more heavier ideas, by using force from other opposite ideas that produce lighter and brighter sensations by means of compensation thru an interchange. In other words, it’s the process of Mind-fulling with good things to override the bad things. Also, coupling in with this element is a range of soft external inputs; sight, touch, taste, sound and smell in such things as music, aromas, rainbows, herbs, etc., which can be rather effective in settling me down when I’m all revved up.
Simply put, my mind’s Mental Health Clinic refines and replays pleasant thoughts from my memory when they are successfully called upon, and my attention shifts away from the clutter or any unpleasant thoughts trying to maintain centre stage. All the while I continue taking in these outside factors which act as extra cushioning with settling effects.
And, if what serves up in my mind doesn’t work out too well, I will keep refining the imagery until I find something that does. In fact, I won’t stop controlling my thoughts until I get the job done by calling for extra positive reinforcements to establish a strong ‘artificial space’ between my observation and any problems at hand.
The Mindful Injection
As my powerful Mindful medicine kicks in, I start feeling relaxed. Both the ideas and surrounding stimuli have now relocated my attention away from heavier pressure, and it is exactly what I wanted. Finally, after a massive build-up of undesirable thinking, I’m in a state where I am no longer strained, which was always my end goal. Instead, my pressures get suppressed by successfully rerouting my energy into blanketing positive sensation, and what a relief that is.
