Delusional Mindfulness can ruin our day.. and life! 

Two Minutes on Delusional Mindfulness…

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a Marvelous Monday! Let’s breathe and smile.

As I am preparing to teach a stress management workshop in North Scottsdale on April 17th, I though I’d talk about a couple of concepts I will be covering there.

My Zen teacher warned me about one of them years ago. What it is, when we practice alone, without a guidance, out mind may create this false ego-based interpretation of mindfulness. And while we think we are so mindful and we’re doing so good with our practice, in fact we are moving in a quite different direction.

The same happens with the stress management. As we learn certain patterns in life, we can do really excellent job following those patterns. We become experts. That looks very much like we are sailing through life. That looks like we are so flexible with out Path.

However, in reality we just become experts in that particular Path. We run it so smooth, until life takes unexpected turn. Then we either run full speed into the wall, or completely get off the Path, or stumble upon unexpected obstacle and fall, and then we think, “How did that happen? I am so flexible with my ways!”

Let me make it easy for you: no, you are not. I just know that because I am in the same boat with you. I observed myself, and I observed people around me.

I will be teaching and physically demonstrating this during my workshop at Sumits Yoga in North Scottsdale, AZ. So come by!
Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter since I will be teaching this course again.

Also, my friend Julia will be teaching an amazing workshop on April 22-24 in Sedona, AZ.
