What to expect
As the mindfulness craze has spread in the West it's becoming too commercialized, intellectualized, and diluted. Mindfulness as stress-reducer and attention-enhancer keeps it on a purely cognitive level, missing the emotional, spiritual, and compassionate aspects that have traditionally been an integral part of the practice. In this book (a bestseller in Japan), Murphy-Shigematsu describes what he calls heartfulness, which returns mindfulness to its roots by adding seven additional elements:
-Attention as respect and deep listening
-Vulnerability as humility and courage
-Authenticity as genuineness
-Acceptance of things we cannot change
-Gratitude for what we receive
-Connectedness to ourselves, others, and the world
-Responsibility for ourselves and others
