The Chronicles of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

"It has been said that you can't practice meditation without post-meditation mindfulness. Mindfulness throughout our lives when we are not doing sitting practice is also a part of the practice of meditation. One has to have some kind of self-consciousness in order to lead one's life properly, to be meditative. Often the term self-consciousness is used pejoratively, which is not fair….The basic point is to be precise and direct and without aim. Be there precisely. There is a need for mindfulness, which is the equivalent of self-consciousness, if you like—light-handed self-consciousness. "
