I know this thread didn't make it in the top 10 hit list but I was interested in knowing if anyone has attended the Stress Reduction Clinic in Boston. I'm planing a trip and curious to first hand experience.

I'm currently reading "Everywhere you go, there you are". Problem is, it's in the bathroom and I get about a paragraph read and ~ well, I'm done!

R.

[misslinda]

got me laughing on that........do you really mean to say "Eveytime you go ....there you are."


Pg 198 is my favorite

Bo has a little more focus on the royal throne.

wait t'a minute..........how do you know he stares at the floor???? you crack me up

if Kabat-Zinn only knew how far his books have made it! Maybe his "Coming to our [senses]" ought to be the one in the bathroom?

Little more focus than who or what?

How you thinks I know?

Maybe not, unless the title is all I need to read. Kinda slow reading one paragraph at a time.

slow reading????? maybe it's more like you "move" fast and not much more you can read??? maybe it's a good thing----that book is over 300 pages anyway.

ROFL - You two put a smile on my face today!


My therapist has recommended Jon Kabbat-Zen to me and I've just recently decided to join a group that she will be facilitating which will have a meditative focus and I know will at least draw from some of the work that she has done with Jon Kabbat-Zen. . . .

I'll keep you posted . . .

Many Blessings,
Karen

*sigh* so many books, so little time.

what else goes on in the bathroom that we need to know about

Karot, I am hoping to attend this summer and meet Kabat-Zinn with this whole mindfulness meditation experience. Isn't it amazing how much "effort" and focus it takes to not be "aware" It took me several weeks to be able to accomplish it. How long have you been practicing mindfulness?
