Exploring the State of Being Mindful
Mindfulness to me is a state of stilled mind in which you listen to both your bodies senses and the moment - put another way it is a state of feeling which is undisturbed by thought and emotion.
I feel that being mindful, whether its being mindful of your emotions or being mindful of the moment, is an under rated skill, and that it could well be one of the corner stones of being a jedi.
Being mindful of the moment.
When you have achieved a still mind, being mindful of the moment is a silent state of listening to your heart and feelings, which allows you to act in a split second should action be necessary, or be peaceful and still in a state of tranquility. The true state of being mindful of the moment is achievable, and allows insight, as the way of the Force dictates.
Being mindful of your emotions.
To achieve the true state of being mindful in the moment, one must be mindful of your thoughts and emotions at all times. Even when your mind is still, emotions, and the events that cause them, still have their power - it has been said that jedi are emotionless, but this is not so. Whenever our emotions are brought to the front for any reason we should always tell ourselves to be mindful, and take a step back for a moment, so that our emotions don't take control.
You can do this by stilling your mind of thoughts and concentrating your consciousness upon your heart. Always listen to your heart.
Be mindful, smile, and then be at peace.
I'll be exploring this state as I follow the jedi way, and hopefully I'll gain more insight to share with you.
May the Force be with You
