I would say about 4 years now I've been meditating and practicing mindfulness.  But I was always a very mindful person even before I learned about Enlightenment.  I was always very hyper-vigilant.  I was always all eyes, I could see everything that was going on all around me.  I was also meditating a lot before I even knew what meditation was.  Sometimes I'd just sit there on the couch and "zone out" in meditation without knowing it's meditation.

Sometimes the cons are the ones that end up being the gifts.

Thanks for the amazing insights guys!

Eventually one might become intensely aware yet totally relaxed at the same time..
