Within psychology, mindfulness has been growing in popularity over the past few decades. It's been described as awareness, an openness to our experiences, and objective observation (among other things). But, what is it about mindfulness that makes it so great? Read More
Excellent Article
Hello Jonathan,

New Mindfulness information site with 100s of links and resource
Great Blog! Many thanks!
Like you I am keen to demystify mindfulness and make it more accessible to people who have not tried it before, but would probably benefit from it.
I have just launched http://mindfulnet.org
Mindfulnet aims to provide "everything you need to know about mindfulness on one website".
Mindfulnet contains pages on Mindfulness in the workplace, education, judicial system as well as medical and therapeutic. It also contains a very extensive list of Mindfulness research, Links, resources, case studies and books. It also includes a page of the neuroscience of mindfulness.
The website is independent and non secular. It’s been a bit of a labour of love so I am hoping it will be a valuable mindfulness resource. Do let me know what you think
Kind regards
Juliet
Thanks!
Hi Eklavya and Juliet,
Thanks for your comments and support. Best wishes, Jonathan
My favorites
I think number 1,2 and 4 are my favorite. Personally number 4 is the one I have the hardest time doing - getting over that hurdle in my head that I've just been ruminating about. But then when I just remember "Oh, I can stop and just BE with it and observe what happens, instead of forcing" something will shift. I do have a hard time remaining patient though - that's why it's a practice.
Thanks!
Thank you for these
Thank you for these wonderfull tips.
Mindfulness has been a great help to me in overcoming anxiety and this blog was actually one of the first places I visited when I first started reading about it.
It does bother me a bit, though, that there is so much selfpromotion going on within the text.
It's probably just a cultural thing. I'm not from the U.S.
It just seems out of place speaking on a subject that has its roots in buddhism.
Either way, the fact that the paragraph titled "it's free" ended with a link to Amazon, has to make you smile, no matter where you are from.
Anyway, thanks again and good luck with everything
