Yoga in Practice: Speak with Mindfulness
from: Paul M. Jerard Jr.Within the average Yoga class, or ashram, the principles of
mindfulness are mentioned for the benefit of Yoga students,
their friends, and the people they associate within the course
of a day. Mindfulness is living in the moment, and putting the
wisdom you have learned, during Yoga class, into practice.
Therefore, mindfulness is carried into everyday situations. What
good is learning Yoga, if you cannot apply it to "real life?" If
all you learn, in your Yoga class, is postures, then you have
missed out on the vastness of Yoga and its many aspects. With
that said, we will discuss the aspect of mindfulness, as it
applies to our communication with others.
Whenever, you engage another person in conversation, always
think before talking. This may sound simple, but everybody knows
someone who does not think before talking. Hence the saying,
"Putting his/her foot in his/her mouth." Children do this, but
it is innocent, and they do not yet understand all the rules of
etiquette.
Your mind has many random thoughts, and there is no need to
expose them to the world. Good politicians, sales people, and
diplomats are masters at saying enough to stay out of a
conflict, but still manage to get a particular point across.
What is the technique they use? In a "nut shell," it is
mindfulness.
Try to avoid conversation when you are not focused, tense, or
not in the present moment. If a situation seems potentially
volatile, you should pick the time to engage the other party in
conversation. Set the tone of the conversation by using a
relaxed approach and listen carefully.
When you maintain an air of good will and positive thoughts, it
becomes difficult to pursue a conflict with you. Be aware that
when you slow down and relax, most people will respond the same.
Therefore, you can control a meeting by radiating thoughts of
kindness. You do this by showing respect and thinking positively
about the other person, despite your differences.
There are exceptions to every rule, and I do not endorse
complete surrender, unless you are wrong. However, when you
listen emphatically and are fully present for the other party,
you will most likely resolve, or avoid, a conflict.
All of us need to learn to laugh at ourselves and develop a
sense of humor. This will give you a completely different
perspective of yourself, and you won't worry about feeling
embarrassed or making a mistake. This perspective will also
allow you to be mindful of yourself and your words.
If you take the time to speak with gentleness, mindfulness, and
loving kindness, the world will respond in kind. At the same
time you won't waste energy defending your ego. Always remember
the old saying, "Life is too short to waste time fighting."
