The reason there isn’t a word for awarnessing / mindfulnessing / medding is that it implies that you are doing something when you are not. You are the awareness – not doing it. You are just being – as soon as you think you are ‘medding’ you miss the point

If someone interested in the Buddhist terminology the type of practices described here are called satipatthana samadhi and refer primarily to a type of concentration development wherein thoughts, feelings and perceptions are known as they arise persist and subside. One can also develop mindfulness of breathing with intention of tranquilizing the breathing, calming it's formation, which leads to quite deep states of concentration, the practice of this type of meditation is very simple. The former type of meditation is well explained in a set of videos here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLvU7ppM4vE&list=PL603BD0B03E12F5A1
Somebody kill the mothermedding banjo!!! ? ?
I'm sorry but that annoying guitar every break messes up this video
I think "shortening" intentional obversations into a new word is overcomplicating. We still have constrasting/mental constrasting/simply observing yourself/surroundings.
Interesting approach to make people relax, didn't expect that type of video. I would like to hear the reasoning why you tried to make combination out of a learning/relaxing video. I could imagine most people choosing one of each, not both because of central/periphere route of processing.
If you have a weak mental game you will never be a long term winner in poker. Tommy's "Elements of Poker" taught me more than any other poker resource I have come across.
Are you supposed to eat mushrooms while medding?
