Is This Mindfulness Thing Working?

(repost from August 2012)

I haven’t been mindful at all lately.  I chewed up my daughter’s Elmo fork in the garbage disposal, I keep making trips to the basement for things I forgot to get the last time I was down there, and I drove off with my lunch bag containing my phone, wallet, and lunch sitting on the roof of the car.  It seems I spend a half hour each day meditating and the rest of the day overlooking things.  Meditating is difficult and often boring work.  At times it can be very unsettling.  So why do I bother?

Open Meditation

Tonight I began leading an open meditation group at Mama's Wellness Joint in Philadelphia.  We'll hold it every Wednesday night from 7:30p to 8:30p.  If you're in or around Philly, drop-in.  It will be great to see you.
