Misery
Suffering
Inconvenience
Stress
Fear
Pain
Sadness
Terror
Confusion
Worry
These are some of the reasons that people, much like you, turn to mindfulness. Perhaps they have heard about it in lectures or read about it in newspapers and magazines. It seems that mindfulness is everywhere whether it be in reducing stress or as a adjunct treatment for those suffering from a myriad of diseases and afflictions.
The truth is that despite the faddishness of mindfulness, there is a lot to be gotten from it and its practices. After all, the conscious mind is present in every single experience of suffering and pleasure and it adds something to equation. It makes sense then that any method of changing the mind would also bring about a different result as well.
This blog is intended to describe mindfulness in a way that makes it relevant to my readers, especially those who share my commitment to Jewish living in the fullest sense. Mindfulness and its techniques have been marvelously useful to me throughout my life, well before I knew that what I was doing was mindful in the slightest way. And it is those ideas that I wish to share with you as you progress forward in your life.
