Practicing the beginner’s mind is about putting aside any preconceived ideas. When you let go of the ‘I know’ stance, this allows the space for something new to emerge. The beginner’s mind recognizes that the intellectual thinking mind has its limits. When the intellectual mind is given a well-deserved rest, new ways of thinking and relating can arise. The beginner’s mind is a place of adventure, play and discovery. It is also a place of innocence and great wisdom. When we adopt the beginners mind then the world around us will seem to magically shift."
