Or, “Breathing out, I smile to the blue sky.” Smiling is another kind of practice. The blue sky becomes the object of your mindfulness. You can look at the sky and breathe in and say, “Breathing in, I’m aware of the blue sky.” So you are mindful of the blue sky. The object of your mindfulness can be anything. Life is a path, but life is not about getting to a certain place. We can sit and breathe, but it is just as important to practice mindful breathing while we are moving. Being aware of our breath not only helps us manage the difficulties in everyday life, it also helps develop our wisdom and compassion.
MINDFUL BREATHING HOW TO
We often assume breathing is just a natural skill everyone knows how to inhale and exhale. The practice of mindfulness encompasses all spheres and activities, including ordinary actions and our every breath. No one can be successful in the art of meditation without having passed through the gate of breathing. Mindfulness helps us to come back to the here and now, to be aware of what is going on in the present moment, and to be in touch with the wonders of life. The upper part of the character means “now” and the lower part stands for “mind” or “heart.” The Vietnamese word for mindfulness, chan niem, means to be truly in the present moment. The Chinese character for mindfulness reveals its meaning. With the energy of mindfulness, we can always return to our true home, the present moment. When we are mindful, we can practice Right Thinking and Right Speech. The more we practice mindfulness, the stronger this seed will grow.Ĭlarity flows from mindfulness. When the seed of mindfulness in us is watered, it can grow into enlightenment, understanding, compassion, and transformation. In practicing mindfulness, we become a peaceful refuge for ourselves and others. When we don’t practice mindfulness, we suffer in our body, our mind, and in our relationships. Practicing mindfulness at each layer can be the foundation of well-being and happiness. In the Sutra on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, the Buddha offers four layers of mindfulness practice: mindfulness of the body, of the emotions, of the mind, and of the objects of mind. It is the continuous awareness of our bodies, emotions, and thoughts.
Mindfulness is our ability to be aware of what is going on both inside us and around us. Through mindfulness, we avoid harming ourselves and others, and we can work wonders.

If we can live mindfully in everyday life - walk mindfully, full of love and caring - then we create a miracle and transform the world into a wonderful place.
