To be or not to be mindful?

Some days i just talk from my mountain trekking experience, moments when i was fighting against gods, when there was so much mind over the body that i was on the edge of loosing the other parts of this earthly presence, the body and the spirit. That i was shaking on last part of my conquest, that being so present in the mind i didn’t realize i wouldn’t had the body to return.. and because of the high goal and of the visible finish line, the ego was so big that left no other place for my spirit… so i had a divine intervention.. and for the next 2 mins i was present in my body… a balanced presence as i would say today..

so is mind over body some goal that we want to achieve? NO – why?  – because itself its an imbalance..

what is this term mindfulness all about? if you understand this mind-full as Jay E. Fields, “The problem with mindfulness is that it’s full of mind.”.. or being fully present on the mind.. then again.. this is also an imbalance..

“I can sit on my mediation cushion for hours – being mindful – and never really have a full, felt-experience of being in my body.”

Is this term born under the same (western) reason, to give power to the though, to the ego? something that in yoga is worthless.. or do you have other understanding of it?
