mindfulness brings us patience... no matter what age we are. G- what wasn't talked about was how the kids that didn't eat the marshmallows restrained themselves from eating, this was the mind set that the kids had (they had a goal and intended to work for it, training their minds) R- repetitions between the different kids, each were given the same circumstances over and over A- the question about what the parents would do didn't seem to fit because the kids were the ones being tested for their mindfulness control B- the opposing idea is eating the marshmallow right away, uncontrolled mindfulness, or the debate to eat the marshmallow because a kid became too impatient

Curing Depression with Mindfulness Meditation | Psychology Today - 0 views
-
Psychologists from the University of Exeter recently published a study into "mindfulness-based cognitive therapy" (MBCT)
-
three quarters of the patients felt well enough to stop taking antidepressants
-
Professor Willem Kuyken, whose team at the Mood Disorders Centre of the University of Exeter in the UK carried out the research, says: "Anti-depressants are widely used by people who suffer from depression and that's because they tend to work. While they're very effective in helping reduce the symptoms of depression, when people come off them they are particularly vulnerable to relapse. For many people, MBCT seems to prevent that relapse. It could be an alternative to long-term antidepressant medication."

Grounding is simply a word that describes the strengthening of your connection with earth. It is an exercise that should be performed each morning as well as before meditation. The process of grounding helps you to remain anchored in this dimension as you move through other dimensions in this meditation.

To ground yourself, close your eyes, breathe gently and deeply. Imagine that there is a strong energy that flows up and down your spine, and then down through both legs. Stay with this energy as it moves up and down your spine and legs – it’s a powerful energy.

Fishing for relaxation. - by Simon Wright - Helium - 0 views
-
The fact that fishing can be relaxing should be no great surprise. It often involves travelling to beautiful quiet locations and sitting looking out upon the water, whilst waiting for a fish to bite. The location with its sights, sounds and smells can be instantly relaxing. Imagine closing your eyes and hearing just the slow rise and fall of the waves and inhaling the scent of the sea air. Fishing provides time to think and is an escape from a hectic day job or from having to deal with screaming kids.
-
Some anglers will prefer to fish alone but, equally, many prefer to fish with a friend or friends. This can allow you to engage in some friendly banter whilst you wait for the first fish to be caught.
