SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Mindfulness<\/a>: have you heard the word?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a vital way of learning how to understand, accept, and realize our mind\u2019s true nature. It\u2019s about being fully alive in the present moment (the only moment ever available for us to be alive). To be honest, being in the present is also about learning to return to the present : our bodies are in the present, but our untamed mind can wander in 1,000 directions. (You\u2019ve noticed?) Yet all you need to enjoy mindfulness is<\/p>\n

a pause<\/li>\n

a smile &<\/li>\n

\u00b1 3 conscious breaths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
(Try it! Go ahead \u2026 right now. Breathe \u2014 you are alive. O taste and see.<\/em> )<\/p>\n
This blueprint for true happiness has numerous applications in everyday, workaday life. Google, for instance, with the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, is launching a program this month for business leaders, entitled Search Inside Yourself <\/a>(SIY).<\/p>\n
In America, mindfulness became widely known through its miraculous results in medicine, spearheaded by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn. Daniel Goleman is another pioneer in this field, popularizing mindfulness\u2019 twin: \u201cemotional intelligence.\u201d Another such pioneer is the venerable Thich Nhat Hanh<\/a> ( say \u201ctick not hawn\u201d\u2014 close enough), Vietnamese Zen master whom the The New York Times<\/em> ranks second to HH The Dalai Lama. In 1996, he published a manual entitled The Miracle of Mindfulness<\/em> that\u2019s still considered a cornerstone of what\u2019s now a burgeoning movement.<\/p>\n
After decades of bringing mindfulness to millions, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh has declared his #1 objective as bringing it to young people. It\u2019s good medicine for what\u2019s becoming a devastating trend. This month\u2019s horrible catastrophe at Oikos University<\/a> in Oakland is but a sad case in point. (Oikos, by the way, is Greek for house, from which we get the words ecology, and economy. This begs us to ask : Is our house in order?<\/p>\n
Tragic as that is, indeed, no less shocking is teen suicide: the fourth leading cause of death for children between 15 to 24; for those between 10 and 14, it\u2019s third. These harsh statistics point to young people\u2019s inability to handle their mind, their difficult emotions.<\/p>\n
Hence comes this project of bringing mindfulness to kids \u2014 and the rest of us. It\u2019s called: Wake up! Two weeks ago, there was a related, massive sit in at Trafalgar Square<\/a>, London. This Wednesday, there was an evening at Zen Center<\/a>, beginning at 7pm [my comments follow hereinbelow].<\/p>\n
Youth is like a tree growing on the side of cliff, in the face of hard storms. When the tree cannot take refuge in its roots, branches break \u2014 and everyone is affected. Wake Up!! can furnish us with the resources we need to restore ourselves in our solidity, peace, and joy. Giving this precious gift to our children, is ensuring a future can be possible.<\/p>\n
