On the blog, I'm going to be doing some mindfulness discussions. I'm going to keep them short and sweet. I'm also going to number them. This will be the first (as the title indicates).
For me, mindfulness is a way of life--in fact, the practice of mindfulness has made me afraid of not being alive. Before I go any further, what do I mean by being alive? Being alive is to be aware of your life. Death, I believe, is a total lack of awareness. To put it in a different way, the soul cannot be aware of itself; so without anything to be aware of, nothingness pervades experience. But at the same time, we can't know how unaware we are in the present moment. Only by becoming aware in the present moment can we understand our past lack of awareness.
