I was just reading Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabbot-Zin again and thinking what a great adjunct mindfulness should be to TMS healing. (Not to mention anxiety acceptance, which is one of my main issues.)
Haven't seen much discussion around here of the topic. Wondering how people feel... if anyone has had success and who implements it into their daily lives.

Andrew Weil's book "Breathing..." (audio) is great for working on anxiety.

Good input Wrldtrv. I'm the same way. Lots of research about it. Not so much practice. But, I'm trying to implement it more often. I do feel the benefits when I come around to it.

Bryan, Do as I say, not as I do. Yes, mindfulness is, would be, a great adjunct to TMS healing. I say "would be" in my case because though I have been affilliated with a mindfulness meditation center for years, I have never really given it a fair shot. I meditate once a week or so when I go there, but for some reason, I haven't been able to commit to doing it at home, EVERY SINGLE DAY, long enough for it to become effective enough for the habit to maintain itself.
Yes, it works and works to increase the overall quality of life. I've seen that at times when I was a little more active in it. Mindfulness doesn't have to be just meditation. We can be mindful at any moment of the day while doing or not doing anything. One caveat about the practice of mindfulness: it is less effective if you try too hard or are too results-oriented. It is better if you can manage an attitude of keen interest in the object of meditation without paying too much attention to a result. |
