"Mindfulness is not a momentary practice but a continuous river of alertness; keep returning to presence by silently asking yourself, “Are you there?” and answering, “Yes, I am here.”"
According to Osho, mindfulness isn’t an hour’s practice but a continuous river of alertness. Keep returning to presence all day by ‘calling’ yourself—silently ask, “Are you there?” and answer, “Yes, I am here,” to halt thought and focus. Add the inner reminder “Sober up!” to be sincere, drop mind-games of money/power, and anchor in your center—while walking, before sleep, and in every ordinary act.
Keep checking in with yourself all day by asking “Am I here?” and answering “Yes,” so you stay awake inside whatever you’re doing.
