Beginner's Mind

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 14:50

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The third element, or habit, of the mindfulness attitude is “Beginner’s Mind”. What is beginner’s mind? It is “having the willingness to observe the world as if it were your first time doing so. This creates an openness that is essential to being mindful”.

Most adults have a difficult time having a “Beginner’s Mind”. As we get older our minds become so filled, mostly with junk, that being open enough to have the curiosity of a child is very challenging. When it comes to “Beginner’s Mind”, my greatest teacher is my ten year old granddaughter. I spend time with her most weekends and during this time she teachers me to see life like a ten year old. People with “Beginner’s Mind” tend to see life, not only with curiosity, but with simplicity. When one sees life directly, and with the simplicity of a curious child, one is usually very present to the reality of the moment. Life is not usually seen as complicated to a child. It just is. I remember once asking my granddaughter if she was happy. At first she seemed confused by the question. She looked at me as though she was wondering why I would ask such a silly question. Her eyes said, “Paw Paw, isn’t being happy the normal way of being”? Only someone with a “Beginner’s Mind” would think being happy is the normal way to be. My granddaughter’s mind is open and fresh and her vision is pure. She is full of curiosity and can be present to the moment in a way I can only hope to be. Unfortunately she will likely grow up to be like the rest of us and she will lose this now effortless ability to be present. At some point she will have to work to regain it just like her Paw Paw is doing now.

“Beginner’s Mind”

A babies mind is a beginners mind. Being mindful doesn’t have anything to do with beginning.

As we get older our minds are not full of junk, that would be the young, never still, always chatting or humming filling up every available moment with noise, both internal and external. Older peoples minds are full of the cares of the world, how they will pay the bills etc. which is not junk but how in our modality we survive.

Being mindful of your surroundings is basic observation, which is what you are talking about. Adults rarely have the time to simply stop and stare which is the greatest tragedy in my opinion. This is not their fault particularly but the society we live in, designed by the tiny few for the tiny few. Most people have been reduced to debt slaves.
