I have been listening to the radio this morning and Ruby Wax was being interviewed (not sure if everyone has heard of her - she is on the TV). She suffers from depression and is currently studying Mindfulness at Oxford University. She was talking about how it helps her and how she has to be 45 minutes of it a day to maintain her mental health. She said it has been found that the brain cannot ruminate and focus on a physical object at the same time and so that by focusing on a physical object you can stop the ruminating. I said above how my T had got me to alternate between looking at an object and my breathing when my head was spinning and I guess this is why. I wonder if anyone has any other info. experiences in using this? I am going to try and learn more about it and spend 45 minutes doing it before I try and do some studying to see if that helps my concentration.
