The 8-fold path, including Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation), focuses on fostering deep self-awareness and mental clarity. Engaging in these practices consistently enhances your ability to observe thoughts non-judgmentally, stay present in each moment, and develop a serene mental state, which are crucial elements for cultivating mindfulness.
Start by dedicating a few minutes each morning to practice Pranayama (breath control). This simple act can help center your mind and prepare you for the day. Additionally, integrate a short session of Dhyana (meditation) each evening to reflect and calm your mind, reinforcing mindfulness and mental clarity experienced during the retreat.
