It is important to approach mindfulness with a spirit of curiosity and experimentation from "summary" of The Mindful Way through Depression by J. Mark G. Williams,John D. Teasdale,Zindel V. Segal,Jon Kabat-Zinn
Approaching mindfulness with a spirit of curiosity and experimentation means being open to new experiences and perspectives. It involves embracing a sense of wonder and a willingness to explore the workings of the mind without judgment or preconceived notions. When we approach mindfulness in this way, we are able to observe our thoughts, feelings, and sensations with a sense of detachment, allowing us to see them more clearly and objectively. By adopting a curious and experimental attitude, we can learn to navigate the ups and downs of our inner world with greater ease and resilience. Instead of getting caught up in negative patterns of thinking and reacting, we can step back and observe our mental processes with a sense of curiosity, allowing us to break free from habitual ways of relating to ourselves and others. Mindfulness is not about trying to control or suppress our thoughts and feelings; rather, it is about cultivating a sense of openness and acceptance towards whatever arises in our experience. When we approach mindfulness with a spirit of curiosity and experimentation, we can learn to be more present and engaged in our lives, rather than getting caught up in regrets about the past or worries about the future. By approaching mindfulness in this way, we can cultivate a sense of inner freedom and peace that is not dependent on external circumstances. We can learn to relate to ourselves and others with greater compassion and understanding, fostering a sense of connection and well-being that transcends the limitations of our habitual ways of thinking and behaving.
