  • What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is really a keyword these days,

  • it's really out there, everybody's talking about mindfulness.

  • And oftentimes people ask me: "Okay, so explain it to me?"

  • Mindfulness is when you get into a moment,

  • when you are not stuck

  • in your thoughts. So, for example,

  • if you start to realize that your mind is going

  • all the time, chatter, chatter, chatter, it's always

  • talking to you, from the time you wake up in the morning till the time you go to sleep

  • at night, your mind is like lalalalala,

  • and if you realize you actually don't have the ability to turn it off.

  • If you would actually think about it and try to turn off your mind

  • for a moment and make it stop talking, you probably couldn't, unless you've been practicing

  • for a really long time.

  • And what that proves is that we actually don't have control

  • over our mind, it does what it wants. And, oftentimes, it's programmed

  • by experiences in our past, situations that we've grown up with. This is what

  • therapy is all about - trying to understand what your mind's talking about

  • and how it got in there, right?

  • What happened with your parents, what happened in your society, what are all the experiences

  • that have shaped

  • this mind chatter that goes on in your head.

  • And, so, what mindfulness is the awareness that all that chatter

  • isn't your essence, it's not your truth, it's just a chatter that

  • got programmed in you, as if you were like a clean computer when you were born,

  • and it had no programs in it, and then your life happens and

  • influences happen, and all these programs start to run in your computer,

  • and now it just runs. And, oftentimes, our awareness is stuck in that

  • computer, in that program, we think that that's our truth, and that's what we think,

  • and that's who we are.

  • But, if you can get a really quiet moment, and you can have this realization that

  • "Oh, I don't actually believe that thought." Sometimes you have

  • inner dialogues where one side of you is saying one thing, another side of you is saying

  • another thing,

  • and mindfulness is really starting to differentiate between the parts of yourself,

  • and to more fully connect with the calm,

  • loving, wise, sincere, knowing

  • part of yourself, and to start observing the mind

  • chatter without having to be attached to it as if it's

  • your own voice. It's kind of like,

  • if you're the sky, and the mind chatter is the clouds, it's learning how to

  • access and be the sky and to not be caught up

  • in the clouds, and amplify them, and make them a reality. And the second you

  • actually pull yourself out of the chatter of your mind,

  • it's very peaceful, 'cause it's quiet, 'cause you're not stuck in all the nonsense anymore.

  • The terms consciousness and unconsciousness are

  • often thrown around.

  • The idea of being conscious is the same concept as being mindful,

  • which is "I'm conscious of this chatter in mind that I have,

  • and I'm not being stuck in it in a particular moment."

  • Whereas the idea of unconsciousness is that

  • your awareness is in your thoughts, is in the chatter of your mind

  • and that's fully overtaking you in a particular moment. You're unconscious, you have no idea that

  • you're stuck in the chatter of your head

  • in a particular moment.
