Mindfulness at First Sight

It is a set of practice system for training consciousness and mental strength developed by the world's top mindfulness expert Lao Yang Shinzen Young (Truth and Good) based on fifty years of mindfulness practice and scientific exploration.

As soon as you see that mindfulness is a way of life, what you are practicing is not mindfulness, but your whole life.

In the beginning, practice may help you sleep better, reduce stress, or help you reconcile relationships.

Then after several years or even decades of practice, when your ability to keep clear and clear is sufficiently enhanced, your perception of reality, self-awareness, and behavioural changes will be completely beyond your imagination.

The ability to stay clear can still help us gain new insights about life.

Seeing and hearing: the core of mindfulness at first sight

The "Looking and Listening Sense Practice System" is not a traditional mindfulness or meditation school, but a practice system that Lao Yang has explored in the spirit of science through the practice and refinement of different traditions over the past 50 years. Lao Yang integrates different traditions of practice in Japan, Taiwan, India, and Southeast Asia, and reintegrates and accurately interprets mindfulness practice with scientific language and spirit. Dr. Kabat-Zinn praised his system as "precise and broad".

To put it simply, the practice of "seeing and listening" is to cultivate the three mental powers of "guarding, clearing, and communication", and the improvement of these three mental powers will affect all aspects of daily life.

Keep, clear, pass

Shou

Concentration

"Keeping" refers to the ability to fully concentrate on something, including two situations:

Durative concentration : The ability to maintain concentration over a period of time. Focusing on one thing for a long period of time does not mean that other things or experiences must be excluded. For example, in the practice of observing breathing, although the focus is on the breathing, you may still hear the sounds around you, and various thoughts will arise in your mind. You just let these experiences come and go freely in the background of consciousness. (Using the ability to "pass"), while focusing on the breath.

Momentary concentration: The ability to switch attention quickly between things, yet focus quickly with each switch. Usually we think that concentration refers to focusing on one object for a long time, but "momentary concentration" can keep changing the focus object, which is especially important for the common multi-task work mode (multi-task).

clear

Clarity

"Qing" refers to the clarity of sensory experience, including the following three aspects:

Discrimination (discrimination/resolution) : Clear discrimination is essential to both the management of our daily emotions and the improvement of our behavior. Imagine a scene mentioned at the beginning of the article: when you are in conflict with your colleagues, you are swept away by sudden anger, then if you have enough discernment, you can quickly realize how your body is feeling at the moment, what appears in your mind The picture, or what kind of dialogue is taking place inside - the anger that swept in is instantly dismantled into different elements (physical feelings, visual images, inner dialogue) by your discernment, and the emotion itself becomes easier to manage. .

Sensitivity (detection/sensitivity): Take the situation just now as an example. When you develop enough sensitivity, you can catch the emotion at the moment when it just arises, so that it will not spread to uncontrollable. In mindfulness practice, if you can sharply capture the moment when each thought arises or ends, it will also be easier for you to gain insight into the nature of consciousness.

Penetration: In the mindfulness tradition, where consciousness is sometimes compared to an arrow and sensory experience to a bullseye, penetration is when you can fully immerse consciousness into a sensory experience, like an arrow By penetrating the bull's-eye, one can thoroughly understand and gain insight into sensory experience, and even consciousness itself.

Pass

Equanimity

"Pass" refers to the ability to neither grasp nor resist any experience, be it pain or joy, and allow it to flow freely.

"Tong" is not numbness or insensitivity, but the ability to not interfere with sensory experience. For example, when you have pain in a certain part of your body, you let the pain spread freely instead of resisting it, because resisting will only exacerbate your pain. Another example is when something pleasant happens, you just fully enjoy the pleasure, instead of thinking about grasping or possessing, because it is the mentality of grasping or possessing that hinders the feeling of joy.

Therefore, "pass" is an extreme openness to experience . Whether physical sensations, visual and auditory experiences, or emotions or thoughts arise, you can embrace them with a total openness and allow them to flow freely.

This capacity for extreme openness and acceptance, when applied to relationships, is the capacity to love.

The sense of seeing and hearing and keeping clear

To understand what "keeping, clearing, and communicating" is, consider the following situations:

When a certain matter needs to focus on processing, you can't concentrate, and your thoughts are lost in some irrelevant memories or plans - at this time, you lack the ability to focus (keep);
When you encounter conflicts in communication with colleagues or friends, you are overwhelmed by sudden anger, and you make behaviors that you regret - at this time, you lack the ability to manage emotions and stay awake (clear);
When you encounter some particularly beautiful moments in life, you are affected by the mentality of worrying about gains and losses, so that you cannot enjoy the beauty of the moment - at this time, you lack the ability to fully enjoy the moment without being affected by the mentality of likes and dislikes.

When our ability to "guard, clear, and communicate" is stronger, the state of "flow" will be more. Just like fitness can help us improve our physical fitness, the practice of "seeing and hearing" can also enhance our ability to "keep clear and clear".

The core of mindfulness at first sight: the sense of seeing

"Looking and Listening" is a happiness practice system founded by American senior mindfulness expert Shinzen Young based on more than fifty years of mindfulness practice and scientific exploration.

The "Looking and Listening Sense-21" online course was first practiced in Internet companies such as Didi and Google China. Every morning, he insisted on explaining and practicing for half an hour, integrating the sense of listening and listening into his daily life and work.

And the public-oriented "Looking and Listening-21" has also entered the third month of practice.

It is hoped that through our efforts, more and more people will realize the importance of exercising mental strength, and live the value and meaning of life in a more focused and sober state.
