" . . .how we perceive a problem, and by extension how we perceive the world and also ourselves, can have a profound influence over what we are capable of doing and how much we are capable of loving. Seeing with eyes of wholeness means recognizing that nothing occurs in isolation, that problems need to be seen within the context of whole systems. Seeing in this way, we can perceive the intrinsic web of interconnectedness underlying our experience and merge with it. Seeing in this way is healing. It helps us to acknowledge the ways in which we are extraordinary and miraculous, without losing sight of the ways in which we are simultaneously nothing special, just part of a larger whole unfolding, waves on the sea, rising up and falling back in brief moments we call life spans." Full Catastrophe Living - Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and illness by Jon Kabat-Zinn

Okay so I recently saw a reblog to Jedi Apologists refutation of the Jedi being a cult which talked about mindfulness as a bad thing with it’s emphasis on self compassion leading to narcissism (I’m paraphrasing). Anyway, this really didn’t sound right from everything I’ve read about it on various pro-Jedi blogs and have taken away from Star Wars itself. And we’ll when I looked up mindfulness some of the stuff I’ve found went into how the practice has been corrupted by Western capitalism and how Buddhists have criticised the way it’s used too.

So as a practising Buddhist how does Western mindfulness deviate from its Buddhist roots and how do the Jedi use mindfulness in the truest sense?

First of all, people have a tendency to forgot or to actively ignore that there is a difference between these four:

Mindfulness

Meditation

Mindfulness meditation

Being mindful of your emotions

Mindfulness in Buddhism

Mindfulness in Buddhism can be defined as maintaining a flow of voluntarily awareness or attention, holding, bearing something in mind, without distraction, without forgetfulness. This awareness, attention is non-judgmental, not filtering things through subjective opinions, or labeling things as good and bad based on like or dislike. But it entails you to have a clear view of what's happening in your mind, body, and environment, and you can recognize which ways of speaking, behaving and using the mind is conducive to your and to other's well-being, which are afflictive, toxic, harmful to you and to others, and you can do the sensible, compassionate thing.

Buddhist Mindfulness and Western Psychology - mindfulness versus meditation

In the context of Western psychology, "mindfulness" often refers to mindfulness practices incorporated into the Western therapeutic toolkit, most often mindfulness meditation. However, one must understand that even as all forms of Buddhist meditation involve mindfulness, mindfulness is not the same as meditation and not all types of mediation is mindfulness meditation. The Buddha taught his followers to practice mindfulness all the time. It should be clear that one can make Buddhist mindfulness a day-to-day activity, but it would be very difficult to stay in the state of mindfulness as it is defined in Western psychological context.

Mindfulness in the Western context is becoming more fully aware of the present moment and becoming more fully in the present moment, completely and non-judgmentally. It generally involves heightened awareness of sensory stimuli, e.g. noticing your breathing, feeling the sensations of your body, being in the “now.”

Buddhists define meditation as a tool used to habituate yourself to constructive, realistic and beneficial emotions and attitudes, to build up good habits of the mind. It's used to transform thoughts and views so that they are more compassionate and correspond to reality. Some forms of meditation are aimed to develop mindfulness. Whereas in the Western context, meditation is often defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention.

Therapies incorporating mindfulness practices include: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-based art therapy (MBAT), Mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) and Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MSBR).

The Jedi way: "Be mindful of your emotions"

The Jedi way of being mindful of your emotions in George Lucas' Star Wars is to hold your emotions in calm, non-reactive ("passive") and peaceful awareness. When you do that, you can realize: you are not your emotions. You are not your fear; you are not your anger; you are not your aggression; you are not your hate. They're arising within you, and when you're not mindful of them, you are pulled by them to places where you didn't really want to go. However, when one is mindful of their emotions, instead of being carried by them, one can recognize where fear, anger, hate, aggressive feelings are leading them, and can choose the light path over the dark path: to act with firmness, spacious clarity and compassion.

This kind of mindfulness practiced by the Jedi, the Jedi teachings of "be mindful of your emotions", "be mindful of your thoughts" and that one's mind should be where one is, in what they're doing, are very much identical to Buddhist mindfulness. But it should be noted that even though many Jedi - Qui-Gon, Yoda, the whole council, etc. - and even Jar Jar were meditating, this doesn't mean that they attempted to incorporate meditation into a therapeutic toolkit.

Western pop-culture mindfulness

The Western pop-culture mindfulness is to immerse yourself into the present moment, focusing your full and undivided attention to your experiences, whether it's within you or around you. It lacks the aim to discern what is conducive to your and to other's well-being, and it's just experiencing passively. Most worryingly, it's promoted as a way to increase the pleasures you receive from the present. Eat mindfully, get a massage mindfully, walk mindfully, have sex mindfully etc. And this is profoundly non-Buddhist, because it's all about squeezing out more intense and more lasting pleasure of the things that are coming and passing. When "mindfulness practice" is removed from other Buddhist teachings, guiding us to release our greed, anger, to develop empathy, kindness and compassion, and non-attachment, "mindfulness" could reinforce negative qualities. For example, if one fails to differentiate between self-compassion and self-indulgence, self-care and self-centeredness, they likely conclude that their narcissistic tendencies are self-compassion.

Most worryingly, mindfulness is conflated with mediation and is marketed as some kind of relaxation exercise or stress-reduction technique. But mediation was designed to gain insight and wisdom, not to relax. Also, it's popular to treat it as a tool or as a magical remedy for psychological healing, whereas it wasn't designed to be anything like that. It can powerfully support therapeutic processes, but one must know that Buddhist practice is not a substitute for, say, psychotherapy. And when pop-culture mindfulness fails to deliver, people often believe, what they did to themselves was Buddhism and mindfulness, whereas that wasn't Buddhism or mindfulness at all.

I wore my new Loop earplugs to the loud and noisy restaurant. I struggle to hear what’s being said when there’s a lot of background noise, so I treated myself to these earplugs to see if it made social outings less exhausting and stressful. This was my first outing with them.

They made everything sound a bit muffled, including my own voice, but I quickly got used to that. And my friends kept saying “pardon” and “what did you say?” to each other, while I could hear everything that was said. I have funny shaped ear canals and regular headphones don’t stay in well, so I can’t say these were super comfy but they were tolerable and maybe I will get used to them. I did swap the bit that fits in my ear canal for the smallest size.

Halfway through the evening I took them out to see if they really were making a difference, and WOAH the restaurant was SO LOUD, never mind whether I could hear what my friends were saying, I think my brain would have just exploded with that level of noise. And then I couldn’t hear my friends so well either.

So overall verdict on Loop earplugs based on my first experience with them - I felt like they made a difference and were helpful. (They were Loop engage btw, I also have the mutes to put in for an extra 5dB noise reduction but I’m starting out just in basic mode)

Seven 'Ps' to 'Terminator' anger. - Part Four.

When angry, engaging in breathing exercises before the person concerned may freak them out and diffuse the situation. But it is better to do it when alone. #mentalhealth

PLEASE BREATHE. Previously: Part One – Seven Ps to cope; Part Two – Four Ps to prepare; Part Three – Pause We may have distanced ourselves from the situation triggering our anger, or we may still be face-to-face with the stimulus. No matter what, we must now breathe and relax. Credit Emerson Peters on Unsplash It is common for children sometimes to hold their breath and tense their bodies…

Top 11 Habits For a Healthy Lifestyle

Hydrate Smart: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for 7-8 glasses, but adjust based on activity level and climate. Proper hydration keeps your body functioning optimally, improves cognitive function, and aids digestion.

2. Nourish Your Body: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Include lean protein sources for sustained energy. This dietary foundation provides essential nutrients for overall health and well-being.

3. Move It or Lose It: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Find activities you enjoy, like dancing, swimming, biking, or brisk walking. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles and bones, and boosts mood.

4. Strength Matters: Incorporate strength training exercises 2-3 times a week. Building muscle mass increases metabolism, helping you burn more calories at rest. Stronger muscles also improve posture and functional movement.

5. Sleep for Success: Strive for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Establish a regular sleep schedule and stick to it, even on weekends. Adequate sleep is crucial for physical and mental rejuvenation, improving focus, memory, and emotional well-being.

6. Mindful Munching: Eat slowly and savor your food. Pay attention to hunger cues and avoid mindless overeating. This practice allows you to feel satisfied with less food and prevents overindulgence.

7. Digital Detox: Schedule screen-free time before bed. The blue light emitted by electronic devices can disrupt sleep patterns. Winding down with relaxing activities helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.

8. Stress Less, Live More: Practice stress-reduction techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness. Chronic stress can negatively impact your physical and mental health. Manage stress to improve overall well-being.

9. Connect and Belong: Build strong social connections with supportive friends and family. Spend quality time with loved ones. Social interaction provides a sense of belonging, reduces stress, and improves mental well-being.

10. Fuel Your Mind: Engage in activities that stimulate your mind. Learn a new skill, read stimulating books, or challenge yourself with puzzles. Mental stimulation keeps your mind sharp and improves cognitive function.

11. Preventive Care is Key: Schedule regular checkups with your doctor and dentist. Early detection and prevention of health issues are crucial for maintaining good health and well-being.
