Summary
Fulfillment, achievement, vitality, creativity, wisdom, compassion, intelligence, strength: all these are inherent to the mind as the sun is inherent to the sky. Occasionally, the sky also has clouds. Just because we can't see the sun doesn't mean it has gone anywhere: There is nowhere for it to go.
So many people are benefitting from mindfulness practice and including it in their work professionally. Yet, how can we be mindful if we don't understand the nature of mind? Come on a journey to feel in your bones the shape of that world view - where time is round - and the techniques of mindfulness practice are part of a much deeper, richer, ancient, elegant, and noble way to dream our world and our place in it.
Many mindfulness practices pre-date Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhist tradition. Their understanding of mind, thought, emotion, person, self, environment, and what it is to struggle and cope with hard things: we will explore these and more as seen in the ancient Indian world, in aspects of Buddhist psychology, and as they form the basis of today's mindfulness practices.
We can be "had" by our thoughts and by our emotions. Here we answer: how to have a thought, how to have an emotion, and how to cope with hard things. May the journey bring you joy.
