Mindfulness in Central Park

New York Arrested: New Yorkers mostly abandoned the city to the tourists and most everything of interest is closed. But Central Park.
Aaah, Central Park summer weekend. A cornucopia of activity, full walkerów, cyclists, performers, families with strollers, dogs, smycze and all these beautiful trees. He decided to devote the morning to do mindfulness and was rewarded greatly.
Instead of thinking about me, as I, and looked, listened, smelled, felt and generally took in my surroundings. Rather than engage the usual mental processing inside my own head, I can focus on everything around me.
I noticed, birds, mostly robins, house Sparrow and the pigeons with occasional white. I listened to musicians: tenor saxophone in resonant underpasses, playing "All of Me" and violinist playing sections of Vivaldi "Four Seasons". In a cool, tiles atrium by the Bethesda Fountain trio singers only accompanied by double bass songs of spiritual and Gospel and offered their CDs for sale. I have witnessed their parents watch their children, run for the future, but not too far away. I heard the languages you me and those of which I participated, not. Big boulders loomed around me. I felt the heat of the Sun and cool shades.
At one point I was sat on a bench next to a German couple across quite well the band Dixieland "Tin Pan". Them and my human right was making a giant bubbles, four or five feet across, with a rope tied to a few sticks dipped a spoon. To the left in the open plaza of bikini clad figure skater glided on Harley and twirled. Between songs, could I hear saxophone only down paths play "Satin Doll".
That was amazing attention to everything around me instead of yourself. I had a great time.
When people feel miserable, probably their attention is on themselves and their feelings. Easy for a break from this burden is your attention outside yourself for someone else or the environment.

Why do you not feel Marne? Watch and listen to what's all around you. You'll notice things you never have noticed before just by having Your senses open. When thinking drifts back to himself, again focusing on what is outside. It becomes easier when you do this.
Mindfulness does not have to be an esoteric spiritual practice. I may be so relaxing. Try it for ten minutes when you are in a public place. You zdziwisz what you are missing.
