Mental Health and Self-Help Mindfulness Meditation| Basic Mindfulness Home Practice Program Many people experience immediate positive effects from Mindfulness, but its real power to foster broad and deep psycho-spiritual transformation only becomes evident through ongoing practice. The problem is that most people are not able to get away on a regular basis to do extended retreats. Without regular retreats it is usually difficult to realize the exponential growth potential of the practice. Family and work responsibilities, the expenses involved and the travel required prevent the vast majority of those ready to take on a regular practice from doing so. http://www.basicmindfulness.org | |
| How Does Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Work?. MBCT helps you to see more clearly the patterns of your mind; and to learn how to recognize when your mood is beginning to go down. It helps break the link between negative mood and the negative thinking that might normally have escalated into a relapse. You develop the capacity to mindfully disengage from distressing mood, and negative thoughts. You find that you can learn to stay in touch with the present moment, without having to ruminate about the past, or agonize about the future. http://sfmindfulness.com/ | |
