Thank you so much, Fede. How wonderful! He's a clean writer, isn't he? In so many ways you couldn't know, this is exactly what I needed to read right now. You have perfect timing.

In gratitude,
Brigid

Thanks for the link, reading that gave me a new perspective on something I've been thinking/worrying about for months (okay, years :P). I still have no idea how to actually deal with it though.

Isn't it great when scientists prove what we've known for centuries!

I observed the same (if reported) changes among people with AIDS when we started meditation groups for frontliners.

federica can you repost that last link? Its not working anymore.

Really enjoyed the first read. I think he hit the nail on the head about how meditation is best used to simply observe how your mind works in its normal state.

I used to think I was pretty neurotic, and I still feel like I have more thoughts going on in my head than most people...but the practice of meditation has taught me to look at it from third person perspective. Its allowed me to see what thoughts lead to bad habits, what thoughts lead to good ones, which ones cause me pain and which ones cause me joy.

Its difficult not to try to reach in and totally control it. I try to just remember that life is basically good and that joy comes naturally if you just relax and let it in. Trying to control things never works.

I'm sorry, I can't....
It's now part of that publication's archives, and it was so long ago, I don't even remember what the article was about...And they charge dollars for reviving an archived article.
A good reminder if ever there was one, to name the article as a link...

I'm so sorry. :(
