Stress Reduction - A new approach

This fall, I have spent a good deal of time meditating and trying to stay in the moment. This is not new for me; I was introduced to mindfulness meditation by my psychologist in Winnipeg. I had made a stab at it, and found it very difficult. My mind wandered all over the place and although I'd read the book "Wherever you are, there you are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn; it didn't make it easier for me to meditate.

Below I have a place where you can buy Kabat-Zinn's meditations if you are interested:

These are the meditations I use now and I find them helpful. Okay, what is changed? Why did I try it again? Well, I wanted to restore balance to my life & I heard that through these simple exercises I could do that very thing. I read Jack Kornfield who said: "Training with the breath is a bit like training a small puppy" (Meditation for Beginners, 21). So, I'm finding that I'm staying in the here and now more and feeling less distracted.

That's me for today.
