'Acknowledge what is on your mind, then return to the breath
How do you actually acknowledge what is on your mind?

Re: Grief - please help
I cannot thank you two enough for this. Paul's cleared up a lot of my queries about the practice that I have always had.

Re: Grief - please help

Grief - please help
I have dabbled in mindfulness for depression, OCD & anxiety on and off for a few years. Today, I lost my Mum, the person I loved the most in The World. What lies ahead could be horrific. It will be tough. But I don't WANT it to be horrific. If anyone can recommend some readings on how to deal wi...
