Practicing Mindfulness: An Introduction to Meditation

This is the course I'm watching right now...I only paid like 50 or 70 for it not what it costs now but its a five disc set ...anyway it looks awesome he starts out talking about how he got a broken cd that had the director and producer talking over the whole movie and he realized that's how he was living his life with a constant commentary of voices in his head and goes from there. To be clear I don't think he's psychotic he's just talking about controlling inner voices but the mindfulness technique is supposed to help with positive symptoms...

So mindfulness dude is talking about near death experiences like car crashes or near misses or choking or even things like 9/11 where you tend to remember where you were. The concept of this mind state of extreme focus and clarity is like mindfulness and that is the goal of this teaching...I can see how this would be effective against voices etc...

Wow that is scary...I can't believe it went that way after all the press they've gotten. I just hope she doesn't die or anything....

I think it could only go this way in light of all the press they got. Of course the judge sided with the doctors, the state, and the establishment.

Yeah I really don't know much about the mitochondrial disease myself but at the same time the psychs really can't defend themselves in public due to hippa so it's hard to tell if the family might really be hurting her in some way that's not apparent. Still I hope they appeal...what they really need is a psych who disagrees with the ones she has now...

So I just got to lesson 5 in mindfulness and he's finally starting to explain how to do it but I need to buy some cool new pillows something called a zafu a little round buckwheat hull filled pillow and something called a zabuton which is a bigger shorter floor pillow. I'm thinking etsy for something unique...apparently the meditation practice is sort of like exercise but for your brain so you learn how to focus on the present instead of letting your mind wander to the past or future.

Lol, this happens to me all the time. When I get back online there's usually pages of roll call for me to go through. When it gets like that I usually just jump back in without reading everything, my threshold for boredom is very low.

9:30 where I live. I'm feeling psyched because there's an anime convention in my area. Time to party like a geek (which can be pretty hard lol). Plus possible sex with my ex boyfriend. I want sex so bad!

yea i got some meds in. im still getting these philosophical thoughts in me and well truth is... im not doing so well because of this plane flight i have to take in 5 days or so. ive been having more panic attacks and im scared to be away from my dad who can protect me. im flying alone. ive been having more panic attacks and psychotic thoughts because im stressed out and scared outta my mind. i dont wanna even think about it. but it keep subconciously coming to the surface no matter how much i try to supress it. i cant sleep at night. i wake up tired and cant go back to bed. im getting less hours of sleep at night. its hell right now.

Actually not so good today. Yesterday I got harrassing phone calls both on my phone and at work from a collection agent... (I actually reported them to the attourney general, this woman called incessantly and then yelled and screamed at me on the phone.) But that's put me into a thought loop of rage and intrusive thoughts.... really really bad ones....

So I woke up pretty agitated and it just keeps going over and over in my head. so I'm trying to calm down.

You sound like my ex boyfriend. Sex is a great stress reliever. Intimacy in general is great for mental health. I'm looking forward to it. I wish I could help you out.
