When a practice of mindfulness is in place, it’s to allow the present moment to be experienced, this is the place of focusing inward. Being mindful of what’s actually happening as opposed to being pulled around by it determines the amount of peace there is in your life by focusing inward. Life is magical in its essence, but there’s nothing magical in focusing inward. All roads that lead to a peaceful life begin and end in the present moment and a mindfulness practice will assist in keeping you focusing inward.
Watch a thought and be mindful of it, now watch another, this is also a tool as is the breath to be used to keep you focusing inward. You can not be mindful by pointing the finger at someone else in the past or future. You can be mindful that you’re thinking about someone else in the past or future, but you can never actually be there. Every watched thought or breath can only be taken as it is happening. The more mindfulness there is of this, the more focused one becomes in the body and being in the present moment (focused inward) as opposed to grasping for the story of someone else. Be mindful of this article only pertaining to you and then focus on what arises; just be with it by being mindful of what’s happening. It’s in the space of mindfulness that you will find the peace of focusing inward and this is because when you do it’s the only thing that’s there…
