Hi Sitting Friends ~
JUST GETTING STARTED:
If you graze and scroll n' roll
around in this site,
follow some of it along -
while you be verbally silent -
and ponder, contemplate what these authors
are really saying about Life - besides necessary 
details about coming to therapy in here, there's
a lot of good quote readings in here to inspire
and uplift you - so please just dig in -- and breathe, 
slow down and breathe, drink deeply, intelligently
nourish your Spirit also. . . .and breathe
 
 
“ Most 'Thinking' is linear,
most of Life isn't “

BUDDHIST COUNSELING SESSIONS
and “MINDFULNESS PRACTICE”
specifically designated as a ‘THERAPY’:
We’ve never actually had that before,
before Zinn and MIT and MBSR… Whew !  
That’s another progressive huge step for
the science and spirituality crossover…  
 
 
Buddha said ~
“Ananda, you are finally
coming to your SENSES --
Your body Sensations  
-- and using them as
‘Waking Up Objects’

of observation to notice,

to watch and be aware of…

Buddhist Mindfulness Therapy is New !
Awakening Mindfulness Meditation Practice
~ is an effective Buddhist-based 'Alternative' way
- complementary to contemporary psychotherapy
for the Discomforted Mind, Wounded Spirit or
Disheartened, Despairing Relationship ~
all in the midst of our very edgy,
over-driven, survival-stressed
Uncertain Times

Yes, we're certainly smack dab
as my Dad usta say...
in the middle of some horrific
Uncertain Times -
Dickens agrees...
 
" It was the best of times,
 it was the worst of times, 
it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light,
it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us,
we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven,
we were all going direct the other way -
in short, the period was so far
just like the present period.  
 
~ Sir Charles Dickens ~
