Mindfullness and separation

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

As a subtext to 'connecting with people' I would add, 'consider joining or starting a meet-up group'.
I'd highly recommend meetup.com
When I first started meditating five years ago, I started my own mindfulness meet-up group here in Brighton, UK. At its peak, we had 670 members. It's no longing up and running for various reasons, but I'm aiming to start a new one soon.
Cheers,
Jon

Funny that you are mentioning meetup here. I actually joined meetup.com a few days ago. Hopefully I'll find some interesting people through there also.

Eckhart Tolle is not usually one of my favorites, but this 10 minute speech carried a very important message to me about how to relate to betrayal, or maybe more aptly "how to not relate to it".

Maybe it can be helpful to someone else also.
