Welcome to this set of guided meditations on mindfulness in daily life, offered by the monks and nuns of Plum Village.
2
In these exercises, we will explore several mindfulness practices that can be applied throughout the day,
3
at work, at home, wherever we happen to be, whatever we happen to be doing.
4
What is mindfulness?
5
Mindfulness is simply the energy of being aware of and awake to everything that is happening in the present moment.
6
Right now, in this moment,
7
you can be aware of your body and your breath and whatever is happening in and around you.
8
This is mindfulness.
9
Mindfulness is always mindfulness of something.
10
If you drink a cup of tea and you know you are drinking a cup of tea, that is mindfulness of drinking tea.
11
Very often when we do something, our mind is elsewhere.
12
We worry about the future or we regret the past.
13
And our tea or delicious meal or the presence of a loved one becomes like a dream or a ghost,
14
we are not really there at all.
15
As we drink our cup of tea, our mind is occupied and we may not even notice the fragrance of the tea.
16
We are really drinking our projects and our worries.
17
We are not drinking the tea at all.
18
When we bring our mind back to the present moment
19
and simply pay attention to whatever we are doing as we are doing it, that is mindfulness.
20
Drinking tea in mindfulness is like that.
21
We are really there for the tea, and the tea is really there for us.
22
We begin to savor life again and become present for the miracle of life that is unfolding around us.
23
We can practice brushing our teeth and be aware that we are brushing our teeth.
24
That is mindfulness of brushing our teeth.
25
We can wash the dishes and be aware of every moment.
26
We can be aware of every movement of our hands as we scrub the dish,
27
of the warm water, the soapy bubbles.
28
That is mindfulness of washing the dishes.
29
When we walk, we can bring our attention to the contact of our foot with the earth beneath us,
30
to all the sensations of our body, to our breath and our steps. That is mindful walking.
31
When you're angry and you become aware that you're angry,
32
that is mindfulness of anger or of any other feeling or emotion.
33
When you are thinking and you become aware of your thoughts, This is mindfulness of thinking.
34
We can also simply bring our attention to our breath,
35
aware of our in-breath and aware of our out-breath.
36
This is mindful breathing.
37
With more awareness of these activities in our daily life and of our feelings and thoughts,
38
we will begin to understand more about ourself and our interaction with others.
39
Whatever we do in mindfulness throughout the day, we are cultivating the energy of mindfulness in our lives,
40
becoming more aware and awake to the wonders of life all around us.
41
We establish ourselves fully in the present moment.
42
And as we do that, we may discover many wonderful things.
43
In each of these meditations, you will be invited to experience a different aspect of mindfulness.
44
beginning with mindfulness of the body, then of the feelings, of the mind,
45
your relationships, and of your work environment.
46
You can just listen to one at a time or all of them in one session.
47
We hope that these meditations can be a support for you as you develop the energy of awareness in your life
48
and that they can help you to bring more peace, joy, and stillness to each moment of your day.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
