All experience arises in the present, do their dance, and then disappear. Experiences come into being only tentatively, for a little time in a certain form; then that form ends and a new form replaces it moment by moment.
When practising mindfulness , we cultivate and strengthen awareness enough to take a step back and not merely react. With mindful awareness , we can insert a gap or a pause between us and what we experience so that we are no longer carried away by our reactive patterns. In that little gap, there exist the freedom to respond in a fresh and less predetermined way.
