Hi Bro,
Sorry, it was a spelling error. It should be spelled "Mindfulness".
I am not expert on this mindfulness meditation, but can explain a little bit on how it goes.
In Buddhism, there are 40 ways of doing mindfulness meditation.
Basically, there are three postures to be taken; sitting, walking and general movements.
Each and every posture/ movement, we need to be noting mind - depending on methods.
Noting mind shall be on: -
- breath in and out.
- belly rise and fall.
- touching.
- moving.
etc.
In the beginning, it may be very tough because we are restricted to systematic postures and movements. Our body may feel aching. Our mind may want wandering out from the noting patterns.
After a few days (most practitioners experienced), it gets use to it and start enjoying the meditation.
As it says, practice makes perfect. We practise more, we gain much.
Mindfulness meditation needs patience and perseverance.
You may like to read books about details on this mindfulness meditation or to approach Experts, who are mostly Buddhist monks.
This mindfulness meditation is well known in the West, and there are many westerners practising.
Cheers,

One of the problem with Buddhism is how to address the desire for Nirvana and the state of no desire. Mahayana Buddhism in way tried to address this by turning the attention from self enlightenment as practised by Theravada Buddhism to helping others to address their suffering. Evidently this deferment of self-enlightenment helped to resolve the contradiction. Now the possession of amulets and erection of idols are strictly speaking not core to the teaching of Buddhism but if it makes living life easier as a Buddhist, why not. Buddhism has really made one full circle.
"There is the case where a monk, having gone to the wilderness, to the shade of a tree, or to an empty building, sits down folding his legs crosswise, holding his body erect, and setting mindfulness to the fore. Always mindful, he breathes in; mindful he breathes out.
" Breathing in long, he discerns, 'I am breathing in long'; or breathing out long, he discerns, 'I am breathing out long. Or breathing in short, he discerns, 'I am breathing in short'; or breathing out short, he discerns, 'I am breathing out short. He trains himself, 'I will breathe in sensitive to the entire body. He trains himself, 'I will breathe out sensitive to the entire body. He trains himself, 'I will breathe in calming bodily fabrication. He trains himself, 'I will breathe out calming bodily fabrication.' MN 10.
Hahahaman said:These images are not core of Buddhism. Yes. But look here, Does the images tell you a story?
speaking of contradiction. In the Mahayana teachings. They keep on vowing to defer awakening until all sentient beings are awakened and here is a play of what will happen.
Bodhisatta A: I vow to defer awakening until all sentient beings are awakened.
Bodhisatta B: No, i vow to defer awakening until all sentient beings are awakened.
Bodhisatta A: Nope, i vowed to defer awakening until all sentient beings are awakened. I will be last!
Bodhisatta B: No.... i vowed to defer awakening until all sentient beings are awakened. I will be the last!!!!!
and then Bodhisatta c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, all come out claiming they all want to be the last. The end results doesn't take an idiot to find out.
The problem of addressing the desire of state of no desire was addressed by Venerable Nagajurna in his writing of the Heart sutta. Emptiness is form, Form is emptiness. But i prefer the Kaccayanagotta Sutta where Venerable Nagajurna got his understandings from.
Oh.... and Venerable Nagajurna is not Mahayana. He is the founder of the Madhamikaya school.
Go read the Buddhist council meet ups when you have time and queries.
