Developing Stillness 11.

Sowing The Seeds.....

To read books and “know” about mindfulness is to be like the gardener walking into a garden center and reading the information on the back of a packet of seeds.

To “practice” mindfulness, is to be like the gardener who prepares the soil and nourishes the seeds.

But to have mindfulness as "part of your daily life" is to be like the gardener who reaps the benefit of a bountiful harvest.

In the practice of Tai Chi/Qigong we practice “mindfulness of movement”, and with the concentration of the breath we turn the mindfulness of movement into a deep meditation that touches the vast ocean of stillness that lies within.
