I like the fact that you talked about Mindfulness as a New Age fad, not because I agree with it because of course it's a fad but that doesn't need to be taken as a bad thing but as a way to spread the word to much more open-minded people.
Also, while writing this, it came to me that, by calling it a fad, it makes me label myself as a true connoisseur of Mindfulness while others don't even know what they're doing, what a fools,
The work of the ego, impressive indeed!
Right, as with most anything and considering we are imperfect beings, many talk the walk and only a few truly walk the walk.
The nice thing about mindfulness is that keeping the term in ppls mind can strengthen it subconsciously. Also, by taking it out of the niche category by defining it more broadly while keeping it simple, more will start to give it a chance.
Beautiful quote! And so true!
