Cultivate a sense of curiosity and wonder in your practice from "summary" of The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness by Andy Puddicombe
As you sit down to meditate, it can be helpful to approach your practice with a sense of curiosity and wonder. Instead of trying to force your mind into a certain state, allow yourself to simply observe what arises with a sense of openness and interest. This mindset can help you let go of expectations and judgments, allowing you to experience the present moment more fully. When you cultivate curiosity in your practice, you may notice that you begin to question your assumptions and beliefs. By approaching each moment with a beginner's mind, you open yourself up to new possibilities and insights. This can help you break free from habitual patterns of thinking and behaving, allowing you to see things from a fresh perspective. Wonder is another important quality to cultivate in your practice. By approaching each meditation session with a sense of wonder, you can tap into a childlike sense of awe and appreciation for the present moment. This can help you cultivate a sense of gratitude for the simple things in life and deepen your connection to the world around you. As you deepen your practice, you may find that curiosity and wonder become second nature to you. You may start to approach each moment of your day with a sense of openness and interest, allowing you to experience life more fully. By cultivating these qualities in your practice, you can cultivate a sense of joy and appreciation for the richness of life.
