Oct 14, 2008 - It is supposed to be boring until you learn to pay attention mindfully. Then it becomes interesting. MBSR change my life. Thanks Jon.

Oct 15, 2008 - I completely agree with the two comments beneath mine. As Jon's books explain, we live in an "ADHD world" where everyone is used to being constantly bombarded by one thing after the other without taking a moment to pause and breathe. That's why your mind says meditation is "boring": it has no idea how to deal with sitting in silence and awareness. It needs constant entertainment. Luckily, thanks to incredible people like Jon, this "dis-ease" can be changed.

Oct 19, 2008 - i agree, i smoked salvia, and it helped me become mind fullness. i wasnt able to think at all. its like all thoughts that i could possibly have were already in my head and it was up to my intuition to chose the right thought for the moment. mindfullness is being all knowing and powerful

Oct 21, 2008 - Lightkeepers is on the wrong track. Mindfulness is an excercise in practise. A practise you can do anywhere w/o anything. Its counterproductive to have to CONSUME anything to become mindful. In my case I don't want to consume anything I don't have to. I live in a society thats always informing me that I NEED their product to become whatever. This zinn guy is awesome. After awhile this excercise of mindfulness is rewarding beyond expectations. Just give it time. Listen to this man!

Oct 30, 2008 - Yet two completely different things.
MetalGearRexPilot Says:
Oct 30, 2008 - There is a difference between concentration of mind and clinical depression.
MetalGearRexPilot Says:
Oct 30, 2008 - Thank you for that comment. It helps to better summarize the idea of mindfulness. My school counselor said it would help with my fear of death at a teen age. My problem is my mind is always thinking. When I go to bed, I've got nothing to think about, so my mind dives into the thoughts of death, instead of a sense of meditation and concentration, as well as ease of rest.

Oct 31, 2008 - LOL
RedstoneRocket Says:
Nov 2, 2008 - being scared (of anything) is an aweful thing. I can truly recommend practising Mindfulness, it can bring you a lot. After dealing with great fears for live in general, it changed my live completely. Accepting your fears in a friendly non-judging way, instead of fighting against it or hating yourself because of it, can be very relieving and healing! good luck and take care of your self

Nov 12, 2008 - Some Russian writer remarked famously that the difference between cosmic and comic is one letter.

Nov 13, 2008 - This video did not mention one should try not to eat 30, 45 mins, even an hour before meditating, this will also help those who fall asleep easily. Also meditation is best early in the morning when it is more quite, the belly is empty and the cosmic energy is highest.

Nov 19, 2008 - i thought meditation was bad, cause then demons enter your body and posses you.
biodrux Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - killerteddie... and what... your mind is perfectly pure and clean right now?
killerteddie Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - yep yep, although if i was possesed id kill you
