      The Joy of Mindfulness - Neil Francis

      Introduction

      Understand Your Roommate

      Have you ever shared a room with a room partner? If not, assume for a moment that you are sharing with someone.

      What if your partner is too talkative, a person who loves to speak all the time. On the top of this, if he or she knows a lot about you because you have been together for a long time, he or she might keep on saying things like:

      -  You are not good enough for that singing competition, so you better not participate.

      -  Here are the reasons why your parents loved your siblings more than you.

      -  You should never trust anyone because people take you for granted and use you on occasion.

      -  You should sit home, relax, and watch TV; why trouble yourself early in the morning to go running in chilly winter.

      -  And etc. etc.

      What if this chatter goes on every time you are with that partner? What if this chatterbox does not allow you to focus on what’s important in life? What if you feel frustrated and depressed while listening to this guy or gal?

      What would you do?

      If you’re sincere about your life, you will choose either of these options.

      You’ll probably kick the person out of your room.

      Or you get out of the room yourself and move elsewhere.

      What if you own the room?

      In this case, you’ll definitely make your partner get out, so you can live a life of peace.

      Now, let me pull the curtains away.

      Everyone has a roommate like this. Yes, your mind is your roommate, doing this chattering all the time.

      In case you haven’t noticed, you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head that never stops. It just keeps going and going. Have you ever wondered why it is talking in there? How does it decide what to say and when to say it? How much of what it says turns out to be true? How much of what it says is even important?

      Basically, you’re not alone inside your own body. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is inner you: the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intention; and the other is what you watch. If you can watch anything, it clearly means it is other than you; it means there is someone who is the observer. But the problem is that the other part you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, you would experience a sense of peace and serenity out of this world.

      The irony is that you let this unchecked, monkey mind wander around and keep talking nonsense all the time. You not only allow this roommate to prattle, but you follow his or her instructions and change your behavior and actions based on the advice of this chatterbox.

      What do these thoughts lead to?

      This endless thinking most often gives you different type of feelings like stress, anxiety, depression, frustration, restlessness, worry, and the like. These feelings are due to your uncontrolled thinking, and below is what happens:

      Uncontrolled thoughts – uncontrolled actions – directionless life.

      No one wants a directionless life. No one wants their actions to be controlled by something else. In fact, no one wants to be controlled by thoughts.

      But why does it keep happening? Why do most people spend their lives running around like headless chickens?

      This is because you have forgotten the art of disengaging yourself from your mind.

      This forgotten art is called mindfulness. Why do we say forgotten? Because you were born mindful; and you were mindful in your early childhood. If you try to remember, you’ll recall those moments when you were so immersed in the little things that your entire attention was on that very thing, and nothing could distract you.

      This is stage they term as mindfulness. Basically, it is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you carefully observe your thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to your current experience, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future.

      Mindfulness is an art and a way of training the mind to remain in the present. The issue or activity at hand is the top priority, shoving other distracting thoughts or actions to the backseat.

      In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just being. - Eckhart Tolle

      Why this book?

      This book is written not merely to explain the detailed theory of mindfulness, but it is an effort to remind you about the forgotten art of mindfulness. You’ll be surprised to learn about the benefits of mindfulness on your general health, mental health and over all well-being, as proven by scientific research and evidence.
