Meditation Training

Or that training in it can enhance your capacity to learn and remember?

The term 'mindfulness' leads many of us to immediately generate a mental image of some saffron-robed Buddhist monk sitting in cross-legged silence on a cushion in a peaceful temple somewhere, far away from the rush and stress and pressures of the ordinary lives of ordinary people. Accompanied perhaps by an occasional reverberating peal from a deep-toned gong.

This image is not entirely misplaced. The practice of establishing and sustaining a state of wide-focused awareness of 'present reality' did indeed arise in the East and is part of the formal training of monks and nuns in Buddhist and other eastern religions. But you don't have to live in a monastery (or have any religious conviction) to learn to do this yourself.

And there are good reasons to do so.

Mindfulness meditation reveals the big picture

Mindfulness practice is increasingly widely used by people in all walks of life as an effective way of 'taking a step back' from the incessant flood of events and emotions that make up our lives so that we can calm down, take stock, and 'see the bigger picture'.

In stressful times it is particularly easy to get bogged down in dwelling unhelpfully on the past, or fantasizing (negatively or positively) about the future, while the present just slides by beneath your feet. Learning to focus your attention on 'right here, right now', without making value judgments about what you think, or feel, or experience, helps you to be more grounded and less likely to be overthrown by circumstances.
