Dear colleagues,
I was wondering about the meaning of “being mindful doing” in the passages below, taken from a book about intraconnection. I think it means something along the lines of “behaving in a mindful way”, “taking action with an attitude of awareness and presence".... Do you think this interpretation may be correct?
Thank you so much for your help!
************************
Sometimes we want to figure out what we should be doing to help. This makes sense in our body-oriented world – let’s take action in this world of things. Yet we can begin not with the doing but with being. Accessing a sense of integrative identity, we tap into a way of being beneath and before even compassionate activities. What is this state of being that may help us explore more integrative ways of acting, of doing in the world – of *** “being mindful doing” ***?
++++++++++++++++++++
From a developmental perspective, adolescence is a time when we leave home and, ideally, cultivate the skills to move beyond our personal and cultural business as usual – which in modern times is a life of an individualistic, solo-self – to wise, integrative action in the world that we can call *** “being mindful doing.” ***

I would rephrase my answer to: being fully aware of our present actions.

Don't agree it's "crap" or "a jumble" as it's quite standard style (read NON style) for this type of content. As my dear departed mother used to say "Does paper ever refuse ink?" Not many authors write well!
