More on mindfulness

so, mindfulness, #1 is a state of being. I explained a bit about being in the last post, but much to the credit of many many healers and sages that came before me, i am in no way stating anything new. In fact, one of the reasons i got into this "state of being' was because of my hectic lifestyle. I know others can resonate with this. In fact, anxiety and stress are among the most common threats/killers of the human race today.
Okay, back to "being". Did you hear that? The sentence before "in fact, anxiety and stress..." can be examined to demonstrate this point. Most often, people tend to listen and either react, judge, interpret and/or think about an answer or comment about what they just read. When you read that sentence, what did you think of? What did you interpret? My point is this:
When you are Being, you are not thinking, analysizing, interpreting, or anything of the like. In fact, YOUR BRAIN is not actually necessarily even in the cognitive state. (more on that later). Point being that if you catch yourself doing ANY number of things while listening or reading this blog, you can go ahead and NOTICE that and then IDENTIFY your reaction.

So, here is a little quiz:
1) if i am reacting,judging or interpreting, am i being mindful? No.
2) So how do i become more mindful? I'll explain in the next blog.

Women who stray ... to be with another woman

i recently came across a few gentleman, and ladies too, that were concerned with what recently has transpired in their marital lives. It seems this has become a trend in society lately, at least we are finding it more in the Bay Area. We are finding women who are leaving their husbands to pursue other women. Both men and women who are faced with divorce is one thing, but think about the added element of surprise when you hear that your lover left you for a same sex partner. If you are faced with this new problem, and not sure what to do, start here. I welcome anyone male or female who is struggling through a heterosexual marriage and feeling overwhelmed and anxious because of this added dynamic.
