Throughout the day, try to be aware of your breath - but don't be self-critical if you forget. Just go back and try again.
Here's a good, basic 'how to': https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...ess-meditation
Jon Kabat Zinn is an excellent author on mindful meditation/living. A lot of people like Pema Chodron.
As for the link you've shared...I just skimmed the site, but right off I don't see anything suspicious about it at all. If the program is really free of charge, the rest of it looks okay.
Best to you~ |
Thanks so much. I know mindfulness can/does help me. Provided I do it.
I shall check out those authors.
Prior to switching to this therapist I was told he was big into breathing and mindfulness.
Just what I needed. Had I been listening I would have switched to him in January.
I removed the link from my original post in case it was spam. I'm old, I don't know what is or isn't spam. If people need this site, they will find it.
Allow me to clarify. When I say "old", I am referring to anyone who did not grow up with a personal computer in their bedroom.
