| + | Healing Ourselves and the World through Mindfulness | ||
| + | |||
| + | * by Jon Kabat-Zinn | ||
| + | |||
| + | "In a nutshell: The cultivation of mindfulness is not only an invaluable means of appreciating the present moment and healing the body; it is a discipline that opens our senses and gives us a way to cope with the distress and dissatisfaction of our lives and move toward the creation of a better world." | ||
| + | |||
| + | * relationality | ||
| + | * orthogonal institutions | ||
| + | * thinking turns situations into problems -> situations require a response - require an analysis and observation | ||
| + | * you make / u have - thinking is a fabrication - a screen between us and direct experience | ||
| + | * clear thinking is powerful, but often it isn't clear | ||
| + | * untrained mind-fabricating, | ||
| + | * seeing it with equanimity | ||
| + | * less clinging and grasping | ||
| + | * detecting fabrication | ||
| + | * like writing | ||
| + | * intention not to make anything | ||
| + | * do we really know what is happening in an event? (news?) | ||
| + | * removed from our direct experience until they (events) become our direct experience - can we be orthogonal, inclusive, compassionate, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Shouldn' | ||
| + | * being aware of what we know and not know... | ||
| + | * not to get caught up and blinded by our blind emotions | ||
| + | * take practical steps to nurture new possibilities | ||
| + | * what are we doing with our creative energies to heal the body politic | ||
| + | |||
| + | Suspension of distraction | ||
| + | * communing, making eye contact, less absorbed with daily preoccupations | ||
| + | * wordless presence | ||
| + | * recognition of dis-ease (9/11) | ||
| + | * everything is impermanent - institutions can't stop it | ||
| + | * things are fundamentally uncertain - terrifying people | ||
| + | * the mind forgets rapidly | ||
| + | * embodiment of our deepest principles: linger collectively in suspension of distraction | ||
| + | |||
| + | Capabilities | ||
| + | * capturing the full spectrum of our capabilities, | ||
| + | * massive interior ignoring of who we are and where we live | ||
| + | * own to our own sentience, come to our senses | ||
| + | * start paying attention & wake up to things as they are. all else will follow. | ||
