Being Mindful of Mindfulness—from the Authors of “Awake But Sick”

Scott and Toshi talk about their experiences with mindfulness and how it can serve as a form of bypassing. They discuss the pitfalls and limitations of mindfulness, particularly when it is used to avoid emotional repression.

Mindfulness is explored as a practice that can be beneficial, but also potentially limiting if not approached with an awareness of its shortcomings.

Practiced alone, mindfulness can lead to the avoidance of buried emotions, reinforcing a cycle of spiritual bypassing. While it may provide a sense of safety, it often overlooks the deeper emotional work necessary for true healing and freedom. Scott and Toshi advocate for combining mindfulness with emotional inquiry practices, such as the KI to help address and integrate suppressed emotions, leading to more authentic recovery and lasting freedom.
