Continuous, clear awareness of the present moment. Always returning, whether from an emotional outburst, an enjoyable fantasy or a melancholy remembrance; always returning to this moment. Rather than having your "mind-full" of something, mindfulness clears out excess mental and emotional baggage, bringing clarity and a fluidity of mind that allows thoughts, feelings and perceptions to flow smoothly through without sticking and hindering each other. This book offers a new approach to mindfulness based on the experience of unity that is the foundation of Zen. You'll learn to find this realm of unity, where there are no boundaries, no lack and no contention, then integrate it with your "normal" states of mind. This clearly-presented three step process transforms your everyday experience of life, resulting in a mindfulness that lets you live in a dynamic way directly inspired by the living moment rather than being unconsciously driven by your fears, worries and fantasies.
