Applying that open, non-conceptual awareness and coming back from being lost in thought to the simple activities involved in making lunch. Experiencing how this practice fosters a richer experience and a greater sense of aliveness.

An example of a special mindfulness practice we can do - engaging in an activity we're interested in and do often, as a way to come back to this moment, again and again. In this case, listening to and playing music.

A daily practice - "sitting there, being aware" - to become more aware of what's going on in the moment, to be able to come back from being lost in thought, and to cultivate a non-conceptual awareness.

Outlining the 3 practices in this series: sitting practice ("just sitting there, being aware"), daily life practice (awareness and coming back from being lost in thought in action) and a special practice (an activity we choose to focus on with the same awareness).

My journey in meditation and mindfulness...
