The Mindful Circle

I sure do this talk from 2007. I discovered it a few years ago when I was first introduced to Jon's work. This talk impacted me deeply and fueled my meditatio...n practice out of an intuitive curiosity to experience what he was talking about---mindfulness. I kept a diary of my experience for a book I am writing. A chapter on mindfulness in a book about How to Function Through Anything--geared toward those with mental health conditions. I am a thinker (still am)-- I think a lot. I'm very intelligent. But now there are spaces between thoughts, pauses, awareness. Mindfulness meditation is freedom from the nonstop thoughts that I used to feel a victim to. Just to let them breathe, to give thoughts-- space, to become the witness of my thoughts. Incredibly liberating. Empowering, sanity. What has your journey into mindfulness and its benefits have been like? See more
