What is Mindful Meditation?

Mindfulness Meditation involves the retraining of the mind/attention to focus on a particular focal point such as a sound, breath, object, or thought, without analyzing or judging it. We practice through guided meditation sessions, breathing meditation and walking meditation. Through various forms of scientific research and everyday practice it has been found that mindfulness meditation decreases anxiety levels, reduces stress, retrains focus and knowledge retention, improves sleep, increases relaxation, decreases blood pressure and cardiovascular issues, improves many mental health issues such as depression and ADHD, and enhances overall happiness and wellbeing with a more positive outlook on life.

Incorporating Mindful Meditation In Your Life

The practice of mindful meditation should be part of your daily routine for many reasons. The mind can only process so much and hold so much information at a time. Like the rest of your body it needs a break to decompress and allow you to refocus. You can meditate anytime anywhere, but to get the most benefit, regular practice is best. It doesn't cost a thing, just a little of your time and a peaceful place to sit or walk. If you are stressed or anxious at work you can go for a short mindful walk to get fresh air, focus on your breath, and movement of your body. One can even listen to a one minute guided meditation session at their desk with limited distraction to allow the mind to relax and refocus. If someone has sadness in their life a guided smiling meditation or loving kindness meditation can help to increase their happiness. If you or a child has a mental health issues such as ADHD or depression, meditation helps to focus the mind to tasks at hand and from distractions. It allows the mind and body to reconnect and increases the level of happiness in your life.

What is Reactive vs Non Reactive Object Awareness?

Being mindful of an object focal point is the ability to meditate and focus on an object with seeing the object for what it is versus thinking about and analyzing the object.

Non Reactive training- is the ability to focus on an object for what it is and not what one thinks it should be, without reacting to or analyzing it, and not allowing the mind to wander elsewhere. The focus of an object is usually pertained to it's texture, color, or shape.

Reactive training- allows the mind to analyze an object for what one believes it should be.

Being able to mentally focus by moving the mind back and forth between meditating and focusing on an object and then analyzing an object for what one wants it to be, is training of the mind for everyday life.
