Ok so today I bought a book on mindfulness, figure I may give it a go.The book is mindfulness for dummies which has really good reviews from what I saw.Anyway had a little look earlier,seems interesting.Not really sure how I feel about mindfulness to be honest, the ideas seem a bit wishy washy which along with a lot of the theories in counselling kind of make me think it may be rubbish but it could be like counselling in practise which I have, in the past, found to be helpful so I guess what I am saying is I am open to the possibility it could be benificial.If I manage to read it and actually attempt it I will post how it goes and I guess let you know what I think of the book (I wouldn't count on it tho coz I will likely put the book somewhere and forget about it lol) Anyway feel free to share your experiences of mindfulness or meditation if you want...
...I will start...
when I was studying at Uni meditation was mentioned in my counselling lecture...thought hmm...could be interesting...downloaded a meditation guide...got nice and comfortable,started to play the recording was fully focused on the recording and what was being said...thinking about my arms getting heavier and all that...and then I woke up...I fell asleep not sure that that was the point haha was pretty confused when I woke up just like ehhh what just happened...yeah its not exactly that interesting a story but it still makes me shake my head at myself.Quite interested to see if it happens again my book comes with a CD with guided meditations so we will see lol
so yeah if you have a more interesting story or just want to share your opinion of the subject then that would be great, let me know what you think =]
