“The practice of Mindfulness enables us to bring our minds back home, which is Meditation. The practice of mindfulness of bringing the scattered mind home brings the different aspects of us into focus. All the fragmented aspects of ourselves settle and dissolve and we begin to understand ourselves more. The practice of mindfulness diffuses our negativity, aggression and turbulent emotions. Rather than suppressing emotions or indulging in them, here it is important to view them, and your thoughts and what ever arises with an acceptance and generosity. Gradually as you remain open and mindful and focus your mind, your negativity will slowly be defused: you begin to feel well in your own skin. From this comes release and profound ease. This practice is believed to be one of the most effective forms of therapy and self-healing.”
