What is Mindfulness, Meditation & Spiritual Growth?

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is to take action with conscious awareness of our thoughts, body sensations, and the immediate environment in the moment as life occurs. It is consciously practicing being present with full body awareness while directly engauging with life as it happens, rather than acting from thoughts, or automatic habits from our subconscious mind or thoughts. An example of NOT being present is doing a repetitive task with our body, while we are thinking of some other experience in our head. This causes confusion in the mind and can trigger stress. Really, mindfulness is just being presently engaged through all our senses with what we are doing… allowing and accepting rather than being distracted and resistant. How can Mindfulness help me? If we are mindfully present with what we are doing, we then become conscious participators with life, rather than victims of just doing things the way we have always done them that leads to the same old results we have always got…. usually results we are unfulfilled with. There is no growth, learning, or creating of new and exciting experiences if we just repeat the old automatic ways of doing things. Mindfulness is a path to freedom of choice that can actualize our desires into reality through conscious mindful action and participation with life. To do this simply requires practice being aware and accepting of our body sensations and how we feel during everything we do as we do it. What Is Meditation? I like to call meditation “Awareness Practice”, because there are so many ways that meditation can be done… this way, that way, be like so and so, not like this or that!… which puts a lot of pressure on wondering if we are doing it right or wrong! Awareness practice is the simplest way to meditate. Just sit, focus on your breathing through observing your body sensations, then expand your attention throughout your whole body. Just notice the sensations you feel, what is actually occurring in the moment, and allow them to be there. These feelings are just life happening and the sensations you feel is the energy of life interacting within you. Notice your thoughts and how they want to pull your attention away from your body, and even try to convince you to stop meditating. Just notice, and then re-orient your attention back to the breath and your body sensations in the moment. How can Meditation help me? With practice this will teach you how to be connected to your body, and not pulled off into an illusory reality in your thoughts. Being mindfully connected to your body sensations is how you become emotionally connected with life, and in time, emotionally competent, which will allow you to be able to healthfully process what you feel through anything you do, rather than needing to discociate or numb away feelings because you cannot cope, are stressed, or anxiety is taking you away into fear. This will allow you to experience more joy and happiness in new experiences, because there will no longer be any fear or dread of uncomfortable feelings, as your awareness will instead be filled with acceptance. Meditation is the path to emotional freedom, and spiritual cultivation of your true self. What is Spiritual Growth? In a way, spiritual growth is a byproduct of suffering, or more accurately, the journey we begin one day through our desire that motivates us enough to end our suffering. I like to think of spiritual growth in the simplest way I possibly can so I am going to mention two main perspectives: Theology and science. Theology says that God is, and Science says that Energy is. To me they are synonymous. Both say that everything is connected, and if that is true, then spirit and energy are the same thing, and we are of the same SOURCE of everything else. I also believe that we all have a unique path, light, spirit, life purpose, or blue print. Just like a grain of sand, snow flake, or rain drop... there are no two alike, but paradoxically they are all the expression of the same fundamental likeness that created them. We as humans are somehow a creation of the same source, and to me the best words to describe this is by calling it our light, or spirit. If we all have a unique light, and are somehow created unlike anything else, yet from the same source, then we are all uniquely the same. I also believe that when we do not follow the path or expression of what our uniqueness is by hiding who we really are, then we suffer by feeling we are not good enough, not worthy, or are a bad person. We can feel ashamed for just being who we are, and become lost in trying to fit unrealistic expectations of what other people think we SHOULD be. Trying to be someone else is the one thing we cannot succeed in, as we are gifted with our own unique life-light that was created to be expressed only through ourselves! I believe that our suffering is caused by trying to be something that we are not, and spirits way of directing us inwards to re-orient ourselves back with our light. When we try to fill expectations of others, try to rebel, try to fit in, not to be seen, to wear a mask and pretend we are okay when we are not and holding in what we really feel…. then a lot of energy is going to be expended in trying to hold these FALSE identities we are living through. The suffering is caused because that is not who we are, it is the resistance, in equal proportion to the distance of how far we are holding our FALSE self identity away from our AUTHENTIC SELF! If we peel back the layers of illusion one by one, all the masks of illusion and facades that we act through, then we will start seeing the light of who we really are; because when we peel it all away, that which remains after there are no other layers, MUST be our true self. This place is filled with amazing light! Once we decide we just cannot pretend anymore and the suffering just gets too much, something inside of us begins to motivate the desire to end this suffering. This deep urge begins to fuel the need to speak and express our truth of who we really are and only follow our light, which will inevitably bring up a lot of confusing challenges and fears along the way. The path to self realization is simple, but not easy. It is said to have been from the Buddha himself: “I did not say it was easy, I said it was worth it!" I simply provide the supported environment and practical tools you will need through the fears, confusion, and changes that will arise along the way of working through the layers of false identity. I will guide you in creating a solid enough foundation of self understanding and self confidence until such time you can take it from there on their own.
