1) He says mindfulness is a ways with connecting with your life. it involves a lot of cultivating attention. He describes it has paying attention, on purpose in the present moment, non judgmentally as if your life depended it.

2) Our life depends of mindfulness because attention is the faculty that allows us to navigate our lives to actually know that me know whats happening or know that we don't know whats happening.

3) It doesn't matter what you pay attention to, it is the attending itself that is important. Starting to pay attention to whether or not your paying attention to something causes the mind to be all over the place.

4) Mindfullness is not a technique it is more of a way of being

1) we should take 10 minutes to do nothing. Those 10 minutes should consists of clearing our minds from the distractions of the world.

2) our minds are lost in thought at least 47% of the time

3) Mindfullness is not about controlling our thoughts and feelings, its about being with our thoughts and feelings as well as with other peoples.

4) The juggling of the three red balls are similar to the activity we did in class balancing sticks because it while we walked around the classroom we had to be mindful of the other students walking around balacing their sticks. To balance the stick while walking around with 20 other students doing the same thing (or juggling the balls while talking to a crowd of people) we must we have a relaxed and focused mind.
