THE MINDFULNESS IN PLAIN ENGLISH JOURNAL

A MINDFULNESS TIP FROM THE MINDFULNESS IN PLAIN ENGLISH JOURNAL

“Don’t expect anything. Just sit back and see what happens. Treat the whole thing as an experiment.Take an active interest in the test itself, but don’t get distracted by your expectations about the results. For that matter, don’t be anxious for any result whatsoever. Let the meditation move along at its own speed and in its own direction. Let the meditation teach you. Meditative awareness seeks to see reality exactly as it is. Whether that corresponds to our expectations or not, it does require a temporary suspension of all of our preconceptions and ideas. We must store our images, opinions, and interpretations out of the way for the duration of the session. Otherwise we will stumble over them.” —Bhante Gunaratana
