A Warning About Your Mindfulness Practice

Warnings are everywhere, from the FBI warning you used to see on your VHS to the do not remove warning on the tag on your pillow.

Also, according to the state of California, pretty much everything will give you cancer.

But what we don’t often hear are the necessary warnings about mindfulness and meditation.

So, in the spirit of safety and full disclosure, today, I’d like to do my due diligence and give you a few crucial warnings about your mindfulness practice.

Heed them, or you might regret it down the line.

It might make you stop wasting time on pointless things.

Mindfulness is like a light that shines brightly into all areas of your life.

When you start to incorporate mindfulness throughout your day, you will notice many patterns and habits that previously flew under your radar. Because of this, you’ll suddenly be made aware of the many habits that are dragging you down. Essentially, mindfulness is like a good friend telling you when you’re acting like an idiot.

The upside to this is that from awareness of our problems, we can start to replace our crappy habits with new, better ones.

It might make you question your conditioned reactions.

Mindfulness is also an excellent dispeller of illusions.

Without a clear sense of awareness, we can find ourselves wholly trapped in the spell of our emotions and reactions. While we shouldn’t deny our feelings, we shouldn’t get stuck in them either. Learning to see that the fluctuations of our minds are always temporary can cause you to react to them less and less.

Over time, mindfulness empowers you, teaching you how to let go when feeling stuck and how to cultivate calm during challenging times.

It might finally set you free.

Complete freedom from suffering is the ultimate promise of mindfulness, offering you a path that many have found liberating across various meditation traditions.

The more clearly we can see our reality, the better decisions we can make. The better decisions we make, the better a life we can build. And who doesn’t want to live a better life?

But these circumstantial benefits are only part of the picture; regular mindfulness can help you to completely break free from the chains of discontent and live more fully in the present moment.

The Ultimate Practice

Diving deep into mindfulness practice has been, without a doubt, the most rewarding practice I have ever brought into my life.

It’s taught me to let go of the many things I didn’t need and to live with more calm and presence every day.
