Mindfulness Daily Check-In August 8, 2012

The process of conscious release can also be called detached mindfulness. Detached mindfulness is intended to isolate your mind from unnecessary thinking as well as thoughts that aim to restrict the energy of your present thoughts.Being able to detach means letting go of preconceived ideas in order to create space for possibility and free flow of thought. This skill is intended to postpone the processing of complex thinking to create more room for a sober and focused mind.

How Detached Mindfulness Works

Imagine a stressful scenario, Provided it isnt bad enough to hurt you. Allowing the situation to naturally play itself out would be a much more productive response than it would be to focus your energy towards it or to add a certain meaning.When something does not require your action in order to improve the situation, mindful observation is often the healthiest way to deal with it. Consider it a separate object that isnt personally related to you. The circumstance will start to fade and lose traction. Before you know it, you have released yourself from a stressful situation and are able to move freely in any direction you please.

With practice, you will develop the capacity to maintain a steady mind through some of your more difficult moments, and you will be better equipped to appreciate your happier ones.

Skill:

In open monitoring meditation you are open to anything that may enter your awareness at any given time or even throughout the moment to moment aspect of your daily life. Open monitoring means that you are aware of thoughts and feelings without the need to establish an attachment. The key aspect is to be aware of everything that is present in the moment. This process does not have to be restricted to silent meditation. Since you focus on various things, you can meditate as you go about your normal activities.

For me this is a very new skill and I too am grasping on this aspect. I will be trying this throughout my day and have positive thoughts on it. Lets all try and be open minded and try this new skill. Let me know your thoughts on this
