The Need for Speed and The Grace of Space

I have been undertaking an experiment lately (as part of that broader experiment we are all involved in – otherwise known as life!) where I am trying to find a wiser relationship with my to do list. This list can take many forms, usually along the lines of planning, organising, anticipating, speculating, - that is it involves lots of thinking!

Throwing Things Away

“I am shocked by the ignorance and wastefulness with which persons who should know better throw away the things they do not like. They throw away experiences, people, marriages, situations, all sorts of things because they do not like them. If you throw away a thing, it is gone. Where you had something you have nothing. Your hands are empty, they have nothing to work on.

What mindfulness course is right for you?

There is a dazzling array of mindfulness offerings around lately, so how to choose?

"Community of the Afflicted" - a great advertisement for mindfulness training!

I love this short piece by Jon Kabat-Zinn called “Listening is an act of love”.
