How does one begin to become MINDFUL during DIVORCE?
Mindfulness really requires no energy because it exists outside the realm of achievement. It is based within the present moment, and the present moment exists without concern for past or future. The present moment doesn’t care about striving to change anything. It is not in argument with “what is.” In the present moment, nothing matters other than the present moment. Here is the present moment as an existing fact, here and now – can we say the same about some remembrance of what happened yesterday, or what we hope or fear will happen tomorrow? Those are “dead things”; they are ‘history.’ Yes, we are forced to come to peace with the past, and to come to terms with the future. As timeframes, these concepts remain highly relevant. It is not enough to say “this too will pass” or “in the present moment you cannot be harmed” because not only is this incomprehensible at times, but mindfulness without perspective risks failing to protect the person from destructive harm. We will not disappear
