Hi Gerrardthor,

In my own practice, 'mindfulness' can just be as simple as remembering to bring my awareness into the here and now and be fully present with whatever is happening in my daily life.


Here's a quote from Ajahn Chah about mindfulness from 'A Still Forest Pool'...



Mindfulness is knowing what is here, noticing, being aware. Clear comprehension knows the context in which the present is occurring. When mindfulness and clear comprehension act together, their companion, wisdom, always appears to help them complete any task.

Watch the mind, watch the process of experience arising and ceasing. At first the movement is constant as soon as one thing passes, another arises, and we seem to see more arising than ceasing. As time goes by we see more clearly, understanding how things arise so fast, until we reach the point where they arise, cease, and do not arise again.

With mindfulness you can see the real owner of things. Do you think this is your world, your body? It is the world's world, the body's body. If you tell it, Don't get old, does the body listen? Does your stomach ask permission to get sick? We only rent this house; why not find out who really owns it?

There's also a booklet at Buddhanet on Mindfulness which is by Ajahn Sumedho
