is making *me* more aware of the importance of awareness or mindfulness. I've noticed "mindfulness" sneaking into Merlin's posts more and more.

An interesting idea: the zencast has been mentioned on 43Folders before. one interesting zencast about mindfulness is here:

it's called "mental noting" which is about the practice of assigning a word to each experience as it occurs, to keep the mind observant and (I'll say it) mindful. For people like me, for whom life is a constant war against the buzzing of bees in my head, it's been a useful practice.
