Your true self-nature—Awareness—is not an “object” that can be perceived like a thought or a tree. Awareness is the light of your ever-present suchness; it is the irrefutable sparkle in your eye that has no other name. I am, and this Awareness is Me. Title: What happens when we become aware? What are the Parts of Mind? ~ VedantaZenOneness
This video shows what deep things happen when we are aware of when we are practicing awareness. This video shows the different parts of the mind, to make us a full understanding of what happens when we become aware.
Mindfulness and awareness are the foundations of meditation. In the context of meditation, both mindfulness and awareness are essential. In fact, the journey to understanding the mind and how to work with it is based on the synergy between the practices of mindfulness and awareness.
Meditation is a practice of awareness.
Let this truth soak in, Meditation is a process of awareness. Yes, meditation is quite simple. However, thousands of meditation practices exist. Some practices are simple, and some can take many years to master.
What varies from technique to technique, practice to practice is:
1. How do you open or expand your awareness?
2. What are you using your awareness of?
Many meditation techniques change the way the mind thinks or the state of mind to fine-tune and deepen awareness. Awareness is also a process of connection. How you use the awareness to connect to the world around you is a personal choice.
To achieve awareness certain conditions usually must be met. For example. If you are too busy, then it isn’t easy to be aware. So the first step is to slow down, to pause a bit. Once in pause, it’s then possible to be in a place of stillness. In stillness, you can then connect out far. It isn’t required to connect out once in stillness; it’s one option for many.
Ironically many people in the west meditate not to be aware but rather as a method to find peace or quietness. Since one step to becoming aware is to pause, so if you are too busy running around, going into a meditation session to pause is a gift indeed. Many people in the west misunderstand meditation, thinking it’s all about the pause and peace rather than awareness.
Discover meditation can be many things, all depending on how you use your awareness.
The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, as taught by the historical Buddha and ever since, are key things that we should practice being mindful of. These are our bodies, our feelings, our minds themselves, and phenomena / the world around us. By training in mindfulness of these four foundations, we see, more and more, how all of these things really are, outside from our conceptual ideas of them. Training in the four foundations of mindfulness is training in seeing reality with more clarity and equanimity.
