Mindfulness is about knowing how one is affected. We come to know where impulses and intentions/motivations come from, whether these are spiritual or worldly. With skilful intention, there is the possibility to generate pleasant feeling within ourselves. We can find joy in our own presence rather than through external means.

In this way, in meditation, we develop skills that can change our psychological patterns. The method is: first step back from the torrent of mind; then, cultivate enlightenment factors.
