mindfulness
Mindfulness is the latest buzz. We read and hear in the media about the wonders of the practice of mindfulness, but what is it really about?
Mindfulness is a particular way of bringing our attention, voluntarily, to the “present moment”.

MINDFULNESS OF IMPERMANENCE THE KEY TO A FULFILLING LIFe

​Mindfulness is paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment, on purpose, and without judgment. Whatever the object of our attention, this practice leads us to discover a fundamental principle: “everything is in constant transformation and changes moment to moment; nothing lasts forever”.

Para entenderlo, imaginemos estar en lo alto de una montaña, observando el paisaje a nuestro alrededor. Nuestra capacidad de Atención, o Mindfulness, es como un catalejo; un lente que nos permite observar algo con detenimiento que podemos dirigir hacia donde nosotros decidamos. Desde la cumbre de la montaña, la yor parte del panorama es hermoso, pero ¿qué pasa si encontramos un lugar donde hay un tiradero de basura?
