I have not been here for a long time, but used to be here often. Today I had to return to share...

By a curious series of circumstances, I came upon the concept of "mindfulness" and, within 6 months was 100% off the anti-depressant meds I have been on most of the past 40 years*.

(I am now at great risk of becoming a walking/talking informercial)

Here you can see, and try, exactly what I do in 15 minutes. This is in a talk to a clinical audience by Dr. Stuart Eisendrath, director of the UCSF Depression Center.

Here is the talk where you can see the research behind it as used in a clinical setting.

*I am still on anti-anxiety meds, but my therapist assures me there is no hurry to stop.
