Mindful Presence Training: Seven Simple Steps

Awareness gives you better opportunities to think through opinions and to act in the way you believe is best for you. But you do not actually carry it out. How many decisions did you know were important, yet ignored? Now you can take new, quick steps.

What matters is that you can take steps that develop your awareness or inner attention. What matters is that you actually begin practicing what helps you develop your behavior.

You now know how to start and where to start. Start now by taking the following steps, and they will help you build a new performance of your abilities.

First: Pay attention to yourself and listen to your inner voice for several minutes. Second: Notice what you hear from the people around you, or natural sounds, for several minutes. Third: Notice the scenes you see around you, with a willingness to look and without letting your gaze turn into a reaction. Fourth: Let your feeling be independent, calm, settled and comfortable with every breath. Fifth: Notice your body pulsing with calm in your hands, feet and torso. Sixth: Regard that attention as a step toward building independent awareness and perception. Seventh: Keep up the same training for as long as you can, and notice how your awareness grows.
