Everyday Mindfulness

This is a bit of synchronicity, at last Wednesdays Meditation session the Tutor was trying to explain this concept.... How he put it, is that you are sitting there "Fishing" for your thoughts, waiting for a thought, then "catching" the thought, then releasing it watch it as it dr...

Hi There, Hope you don't mind me putting this up here ..... the Tutor from my Meditation Course is organising a 14 Day Meditation Challenge (what the hell is a Meditation Challenge I hear you ask ??) ... Well I've got no idea but it's starting on 1st July of this year..... I'll be giving it a go, th...

That's good news that you're feeling more positive about your situation David, very good news. And your are definately right in saying that rumination on troubles is a real downfall, always has been one of my big downfalls, but you did well realising this was happening to you. The worst times I've h...

Hi David225, apologies over not replying to you sooner, I thought someone with a bit more experience of these sort of things may have chipped in but it doesn't look like that, does it?

Thanks for that response Steve, and everybody else, I've found all these replies quietly re-assurring, like I say it's nothing I was really worried about and if these thoughts come to me during Meditations it seems I can let them float off away into the ether, together with the rest of those pesky t...

Hi There !! ... it's me again, I've been busy trying to catch you all up with the FPIAFW course, and I'm nearly there, I've read through the First Week, now starting Week 2, so by the end of this week I feel I will be ready to start the Week 3 with everyone. I've been incorporating the Meditation 1 ...

Well thanks to everybody for all your responses, I think you lot have succeded in talking me down to earth a bit, all these thoughts going through my head are most probably due to the initial 'wow' factor of the present feelings I currently have, I have realised this about myself over the years, I d...
