Mindfulness: Mind vs. Intellect

The mind is bigger than the brain. When people say "my mind," they are most likely referring to their intellect. The intellect is a process of the brain and, much of the time, along with our emotions, acts as part of our ego's defense system. The intended function of the intellect was to assess our immediate environment and communicate the information to the body so it could respond in whatever manner was appropriate to protect our physical being.

Mindfulness: Encyclopedia - Mindfulness Mindfulness is the practice whereby a person is intentionally aware of his or her thoughts and actions in the present moment, non-judgmentally.

Mindfulness: Encyclopedia - Mind

The mind is the term most commonly used to describe the higher functions of the human brain, particularly those of which humans are subjectively conscious, such as personality, thought, reason, memory, intelligence and emotion. Although other species of animals share some of these mental capacities, the term is usually used only in relation to humans. It is also used in relation to postulated supernatural beings to which human-like qualities are ascribed, as in the expression "the mind of God." Mind - Theories of the min ...

Mindfulness: Two Ways To Wash Your Dirty Linen

Thich Nhat Hanh taught the power of mindfulness and the importance of being present and fully engaged in each moment and in each act. He told a friend that there are two ways to wash the dishes: The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes and the second is to wash the dishes in order to wash the dishes.

Mindfulness: The Cauliflower Buddha

The Cauliflower Buddha

The famous sage of Arunachala, India, Ramana Maharshi, said that when the mind is absorbed at the source from where the �I am� is springing forth, meditation begins. �When one is at this source, the separateness of ego dissolves,� Ramana proclaimed.

Mindfulness: How to Anti-virus Your Mind

A computer virus, Blaster, infected several computer networks across continents recently, disrupting all normal functions, creating havoc in the business world. During the vicious virus attack, the utilisation of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the computer - which is its main think tank - was found to be extremely high, overshooting all permissible limits and causing computers to behave in an abnormal fashion.

The human mind is often compared to a computer. In fact, we could draw an interesting analogy between a computer virus attack and the mind being plagued by virus-like evil thoughts.

Mindfulness: Stopping The Mind’s Chatter

The nature of the mind is to accumulate. A gross mind wants to accumulate things; an evolved mind wants to accumulate knowledge. When emotion becomes dominant, it wants to accumulate people.

The mind’s basic nature is to accumulate. The mind is a gatherer - always wanting to gather something. The mind of a person on the spiritual path starts accumulating 'spiritual’ wisdom. Maybe it starts gathering the guru’s words but until one goes beyond the need to accumulate - whether it is food, things, people, knowledge or wisdom - it does not matter what you accumulate.

Mindfulness: Discover the 'I', Be One With God

The mind as a separate live entity does not exist, for it is an instrument in the hand of God. The only thing that remains is 'Being', which covers both existence and non-existence, which is beyond words or ideas. Pure awareness dawns through an understanding of one's own nature. The sage's instruction demands no strenuous effort either through physical rigour or austere practices such as chanting.

Mindfulness: Conquest of Mind

The mind can be controlled by Abhyasa and Vairagya. Abhyasa is constant effort to fix the mind on God or Atman. Vairagya is dispassion or non-attachment to sensual objects.

From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

Mindfulness: Purification of Mind

You must have a pure mind if you want to realise the Self. Unless the mind is set free and casts away all desires, cravings, worries, delusion, pride, lust, attachment, likes and dislikes, it cannot enter into the domain of Supreme Peace and unalloyed felicity of the Immortal Abode.

From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

Mindfulness: Preserve the Pure Stream of the Mind

Today, most of our problems are caused by volatile emotions. They agitate our minds and make them slushy. We have to learn to exercise control over emotions through meditation; you have to watch yourself, your thoughts and your soul as distinct from the body. We have to wait patiently for the agitated mind to settle down in order to attain bliss.

Mindfulness: The Group Mind Principle I

In short, the group mind principle of Nature states that the resulting force generated from the combining of like minds is geometrically greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, minds that are focused together upon a common theme create a mutual force that is not merely additive, but vastly more powerful than any one individual or group of individuals.

Mindfulness: Facts About Mind

Mind is not only daily made, but hourly made. In every minute it changes its colour and shape like a chameleon. It is very wavering and unsteady (Chanchalam and Asthiram).

From "Easy Steps to Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

Mindfulness: The Group Mind Principle II

The number of similarities between the function of a two-way radio and the human body are quite surprising. The body/mind constantly emits all aspects of our internal state to the environment, and receives input from the world in the same manner.

In any discussion of group mind phenomena, it is impossible not to enter into the subject of psychic effect, as well as the principles of natural law such as resonance or vibration (feeling/frequency) that make it possible. Similarly, it is not possible to fully understand psychic effects without a minimum coverage of the energy or chi upon which it is based.

Mindfulness: Encyclopedia - Animal mind

The question of animal minds asks whether it is necessary, or possible, to describe a non-human animal as having a mind. Discussion of this subject is frequently confused by the fact that some schools of philosophy and psychology would question whether we need to, or should, ascribe mind to any human being other than ourselves (or even to ourselves). Such an approach (for example radical behaviorism) would nat ...

Mindfulness: Encyclopedia - Unconscious mind

The notion of an unconscious or subconscious has been defined in a variety of ways over time, but in psychology it is considered to be the deepest level of consciousness, a part of which we are not directly aware, but still contains elements that affect conscious behavior. As defined by Sigmund Freud, the psyche is composed of different levels of consciousness, often defined in three parts as the waking consciousness, preconsciousness (which can be recalled with effort), and beneath both of these, the unconscious (which is beyo ...

Mindfulness: Encyclopedia - Mind control

Mind control is a general term for a number of controversial theories proposing that an individual's thinking, behavior, emotions or decisions can, to a greater or lesser extent, be manipulated at will by outside sources. People who believe they are subject to mind-control are usually psychotic. Suitable doses of anti-psychotic drugs remove the delusion or make it less obtrusive. The principal feasibility of such control and the methods by which it might be attained (either direct or more subtle) are both subject to hot ...
