It&#8217;s one thing to be mindful on the cushion, but what happens during the rest of the day.\u00a0 Darren shares techniques on how you can be more mindful off the cushion.\u00a0 There are some that believe that you can be even more mindful during your dream states. If you practice being mindful throughout the day, there are benefits that accrue over time.\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">In this video, Darren explains that the key to mindfulness is to be aware, accept and engage.\u00a0 These steps will lead to appropriate action versus impulsive behavior.\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">Next in the video, CJ and Darren talk about discerning when you are &#8220;accepting&#8221; what is or if you are just in a state of denial.\u00a0 Sometimes when we &#8220;accept&#8221; we are secretly just resisting.<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">In the end of the day, why does any of this mindful action matter? Darren explains how using these techniques help you connect with the flow of life.\u00a0 Once you connect with the flow of life, you find life&#8217;s joy.\u00a0 But beyond that you experience Divine wisdom, love, and beauty.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/209-Fire-it-up-with-CJ-25229902\/episode\/being-present-off-the-cushion-29399904\/?embed=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>More on Author Darren Cockburn<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulnessonlinetraining.org\/\">https:\/\/mindfulnessonlinetraining.org\/<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Being Present: Cultivate a Peaceful Mind through Spiritual Practice\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_X2fvoFJgfTdeGO&#038;asin=1844097463&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<h2>Other Experts on Mindfulness<\/h2>\r\n<p><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"f5nsbX63tP\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireitupwithcj.com\/dev\/jan-12-buddha-standard-time-with-lama-surya-das\/\">Finding a little peace of mind (Lama Surya Das)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
