Mindful awareness

To be mindfully aware, we acknowledge what is going on around us. So many things distract us, so being aware of what is happening is important.
Take a moment to breathe and focus on your breathing. After a few breaths, recognise what you can hear. Then focus on breathing again. After a while recognise what you can feel around you; wind, vibrations of footsteps, rain, clothes, posture. Continue to breathe and just accept inspiration and expiration, breathe in and out. Recognise, don't judge what you can hear, accept that it is going on. Focus once more on breathing in and out. Accept what's going on around you, don't judge it, just let it be; posture, clothing, people walking, wind, rain, the vibration of a train track, the rumble of a truck, be aware of them. You are amidst all this.
This is mindful awareness. Practice this in any location. Keep practicing and eventually you will be able to do this naturally.
