It is important to be patient and gentle with oneself during the mindfulness practice from "summary" of The Mindful Way through Depression by J. Mark G. Williams,John D. Teasdale,Zindel V. Segal,Jon Kabat-Zinn
When engaging in mindfulness practice, it is crucial to approach oneself with kindness and understanding. This means being patient and gentle with oneself throughout the process. It is common for individuals to experience moments of frustration or self-criticism during mindfulness practice, especially if they are new to it. However, it is essential to remember that mindfulness is a skill that takes time to cultivate and develop. By being patient with oneself, one can create a sense of space and openness within their practice. This allows for a more compassionate and accepting attitude towards oneself, which is key to experiencing the true benefits of mindfulness. Instead of being harsh or judgmental towards oneself, it is important to offer kindness and encouragement. Gentleness is also a vital aspect of mindfulness practice. This involves treating oneself with care and compassion, much like one would treat a dear friend. By approaching oneself gently, one can foster a sense of warmth and understanding that is conducive to the practice of mindfulness. This gentle approach can help to soften any resistance or tension that may arise during the practice. It is important to remember that mindfulness is not about achieving perfection or reaching a specific goal. It is about being present in the moment and observing whatever arises with an attitude of curiosity and openness. By being patient and gentle with oneself, one can create a supportive environment for this process to unfold naturally.- Approaching oneself with patience and gentleness during mindfulness practice is essential for cultivating a sense of self-compassion and acceptance. By treating oneself with kindness and understanding, one can create a nurturing space for growth and healing to occur. This attitude of patience and gentleness is a foundational aspect of mindfulness practice that can lead to profound transformation and well-being.
