Of all the therapeutic regimens and modalities I have experienced including TM, Gestalt Therapy, Biofeedback, Encounter Groups, Immersion Therapy, EST, Spiritual Retreats, VA sponsored PTSD programs; Mindfullness training and the consequent skill that is developed with daily practice, has more utilitarian impact on daily living than all the others. Given that conscious living is a soup dished up hourly, all the other philosophies and interventions are certainly of value, yet it seems as if Mindfullness just pulls them all together and adds to an equanimity that would otherwise not be accessible to the waking mind and all its friendly monkeys.

The teachers of this course are par excellance!

“It’s like the thoughts lost their hook,” says an OIF/OEF
veteran graduate of an MBSR class. “Before, they were just
ripping me. With mindfulness, it opens up the blinders,
and you realize (those thoughts) are
not the totality of your existence forever.”
