non-judgemental awareness

is really it sounds very simple but it's actually

just about the hardest work in the world

for human beings because we get so

caught up in our condition states of mind

when we

begin to cultivate awareness

its really important to bring

certain attitudinal approach to it

so that we're not trying to force anything to happen or sit in a kind of

rigid posture

we retain some special state that will, you know that we sort of

think, that's what it is, I'll be enlightened or I'll just be permanently

wise or I'll be this. I'll be that

the problem isn't actually with the Enlightenment with the permanently wise

or anything like that, the problem is with the personal pronouns

I mean mind, they are very very problematic

because who we think we are and who we actually are

are very different and there is a huge separation

who we think we are as very very small compared to who we actually are

and so when we are cultivating mindfulness

in MBSR or with people

we encourage a certain kind of a attitude that's brought to

the formal and informal practices that you can keep in mind through

your daily life as well, and these attitudes

there are seven of them that I put

in Full Catastrophe Living when I was writing it

because it really felt like if you bring

if you start to cultivate acceptance if you start to cultivate non striving

if you start to cultivate letting go or letting be

you start to cultivate trust and patient, these qualities

can be cultivated in everyday life with your children

with your parents, with your

partner or spouse with your colleagues at work

and so it's a way of reinforcing in deepening

the actual formal and informal meditation practices
