Religious traditions have to potential to anchor individuals in the meaningful collective life because they can provide a framework that links the individual's spiritual aspirations to whole communities. Communities extending deep into the past, far into the future, and outward into the extended present.
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.
