Foundations of Spiritual Living: Step Seven on the Eightfold Path

Hello wonderful Open Heart Project,

Last week we looked at Right Effort, the sixth step on the Noble Eightfold Path. This week is step seven: Right Mindfulness.

Right Mindfulness is all about intentional placement of our attention. Of course, our attention is constantly moving, so it’s not about forcing ourselves to focus on one thing indefinitely. It’s about practicing awareness around where our attention goes based on our circumstances and bringing it back to the here and now.

Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Love,
Susan

PS: There’s a full, in-depth talk on Right Mindfulness, on my podcast, Buddhism Beyond Belief, Episode 49, that you can listen to here (if you want to).
