I have heard a lot about mindfulnness. Some people who teach mindfullness says that it can be practiced in the wrong way.
I find that mindfullness is a lot about sitting or standing in a static posture, breath and feel something; may it be a raisin or scanning your body.
To me it seems that midfulness has three problems:
1. It seems to be a way of forcing yourself to be calm or relaxed. It doesn't have to be but it can be. Sometimes the focus is too much on relaxation.
2. Many people need movement (dynamic posture, I think it's called) and not just static posture. Some argue (both my singing/speaking teacher and a yoga hindu from India) that we have to begin with external movement before going to interior movement.
3. It takes time to learn mindfullness and one must take a course and do a lot of homework. Most of the time people just give exercices outside of a course,
What do you think?
