Everyday Mindfulness

Has anybody else had problems accessing the forum or loading the website (https://everyday-mindfulness.org)? I haven't been able to do either since end of May (I believe one of the last posts I read before the problems started was Gareth going on vacation). I have tried accessing from several comput...

Monkey, whatever you do, don't make lists that you then beat yourself for not following. The day to day mindfulness is much harder to achieve, but the way to reach it is to believe that the daily meditation practice will do its magic with time, and pretty much leave it at that - or so I believe.

The terrain was quite demanding and my shoes were not chosen for the occasion, so I had to put a lot of ...

Hi Emma, I am not coming from a background of anxiety or phobia, so these views are on basic mindfulness, but maybe you can find them useful anyway. I started out with a teaser 1/2-course and then continued with the free online Palouse mindfulness course <https://palousemindfulness.com/>. I found th...

During sitting meditation it is quite easy for me to do as you say and register the thought and then return to the anchor. But when I try mindful walking it is almost impossible for me to keep focused, so I've started to "double anchor" with a mantra and simultaneously focusing on what I s...

No, no. I was not trying to describe anything I try to achieve as a meditation practice, just how my mind goes running wild on its own.
