And Then Some News

When I read about the values of mindfulness — “We are seeing more and more evidence that mindfulness can increase life enjoyment, improve the ability to cope with illness, and improve physical and emotional health” - about.com website on the topic mental health — you have to wonder what’s it all about? Thursday’s essay, “Mindfulness is a way of seeing things as they really are And Then Some” pursues this topic and outlines some of its characteristics.

Share your And Then Some Story about mindfulness. Have you ever practiced mindfulness on a regular basis? What, specifically, do you do? What results do you obtain? If you were to teach mindfulness to your best friends, what would you tell them?

And Then Some Essay - April 24, 2008
Mindfulness is a way of seeing things as they really are And Then Some

It is in that spirit, but not tied to religion in any way, that I selected mindfulness as a topic for this essay because anything designed to engender insight and wisdom should be pursued with vigor, vigilance, and a sense of “how can I achieve that?”
