Mindfulness can be the beginning of a far deeper, richer spiritual experience. By Jo De Rosa
Mindfulness is a great first step towards the ‘control’ of the mind, but is it the ultimate goal? Do we want to stop our journey with a mind ‘full’ of the present moment, or are we willing to go beyond even this to experience enlightenment? As we learn to let go of thoughts and distractions, it is like focusing on clouds as they pass through the sky; and each sound that we hear, or repetition of breath, becomes our foundation. We ‘rest’ upon what our senses are picking up, experiencing deeper and deeper peace and finding stability within our own minds.
