Introduction
In the realms of psychology of Tantra Yoga, Mindfulness is a concept of profound significance. It transcends the simple act of observation and enters the domain of deep, conscious presence.
But what exactly is Mindfulness, and why is it so crucial in our journey toward self-transformation and holistic well-being?
What is Mindfulness?
In simple terms, Mindfulness is just like lighting a lamp in a room. As long as the light glows the darkness cannot enter the room. Once the light stops glowing the darkness enters the space in no time. Mindfulness is just like the glowing lamp. Once that lamp is put off, disturbances and darkness of thoughts enter into the space of mind in no time.
Mindfulness can be understood as the state of being conscious of one’s thoughts, emotions, sensations, and surroundings. It is the ability to observe one’s internal and external experiences without judgment or attachment.
In essence, Mindfulness is that state of consciousness that illuminates our inner and outer worlds, allowing us to perceive, understand, and respond to life with greater clarity and insight.
Mindfulness in Tantra Yoga
