Mindfulness for Beginners Redux

Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment”
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was the concept created by Jon Kabat-Zinn and his team at the University of Massachusetts in the late 1970’s.
Since then, it has spread world wide and has helped millions of people live a better more content life. It forms a portion of today’s Dialectic Behaviour Therapy.
A committed daily Mindfulness practice can play an important role in enhancing your ability to manage emotions and feelings, cope with stress, and improve relationships.

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few". Shunryu Suzuki
The idea of "beginner's mind" is a Zen concept that refers to a state of openness, eagerness and presence that allows people to be original and fresh, with no preconceptions. In this state, there is no thought of achievement or self.
Experts may have a lot of knowledge, but their mindset can be narrow and judgemental, leading to a belief that there is only one correct way to approach a problem or a situation.
