March 28, 2014 being mindful 17 mile meditative run,”We simply bring our mind to whatever
activity we are doing and observe it in a nonjudgmental way. In running, we can
be mindful of our breathing, the landing of our feet and the swinging of our
arms. Simply coming back to what we are doing is very healthy. The parameters
of mindfulness are "not too tight, not too loose." We should avoid
being either too rigid or so relaxed in how we work with mind and body. As we
run, it is revitalizing and refreshing for the mind when we recognize for just
a moment that we are running, that we are present and breathing. In that moment,
we are not absorbed in worry about the future or regret about the past. Running
provides a way of fresh and immediate technique for realigning our life to what
is happening now.”
