The energy in mindfulness is something concrete that can be cultivated.
When we practice walking mindfully, our solid, peaceful steps cultivate the energy of mindfulness and bring us back to the present moment. When we sit and follow our breathing, aware of our in – and – out breath, we are cultivating the energy of mindfulness. When we have a meal in mindfulness, we invest all our being in the present moment and are aware of our food and of those who are eating with us.
We can cultivate the energy of mindfulness while we walk, while we breathe, while we work, while we wash the dishes or wash our clothes. A few days of practicing like this can increase the energy of mindfulness in you, and that energy will help you, protect you, and give you courage to go back to yourself.
