La méditation en pleine conscience, parfois appelée méditation
pratique ou encore mindfulness est aussi simple que son nom l’indique.
Votre question sera dès lors probablement « comment pratiquer la pleine conscience« .
Il s’agit de prendre pleinement conscience du moment présent, de
centrer son attention sur l’instant et sur tout ce que vous êtes, sur ce
que vous ressentez. Il s’agit d’un éveil, d’un réveil au monde. La
pratique de la méditation en pleine conscience séduit de plus en plus de
personnes par sa manière de déborder ensuite sur tous les moments de la
journée, de la vie.
During the last weekend, I participated in the coursse „Mindfulness
is the Source of Happiness“ with thay Phap Nhat. On the last day, he
draw a picture of a pond and a well. Looking at the pond, it first seems
that there is a lot of water in it; we can even take some water out of
it and bring it somewhere to share it with others. But when the sun is
shining, the water will evaporate and the pond may dry out. When we are
looking at the well, we see that it is smaller than the pond on the
surface, but it is very deep. When we take water from the well, we take
it from deep down from the stream. This source of water will never be
empty, because the stream continues to flow down there under the soil.
Thay Phap Nhat explained the meaning of this picture for our practice.
We can accumulate a lot of knowledge by studying. But if we stop at that
point, we will be like a pond that can easily dry out. If we want to go
deeper, we have to really become a practicioner; we have to dig our own
well by developing the energy of mindfulness so that we are able to
draw the water directly from the source.
