This reminds me of a quote I read on a website about mindfulness. It was something like "mindfulness is like a pond of water. You have to still your mind to see what's underneath everything. The same way you can see the bottom of a pond when the water is still."

I agree that people shouldn't be pushed into mindfulness if it's uncomfortable though.
