Staying in the Now: Mental Health Through Mindfulness

[mpkalish]

Very interesting and informative. We be interested in seeing further empirical scientific studies concerning the effectiveness of meditative practices in furthering mental and physical health.

I didn't think I would find this man's delivery compelling, but the first time he smiled I thought I was looking at Danny DeVito. Win.

Diabetes and related complications like hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, coma, and death. These side effects can develop at any point during treatment, but we know whats best for you. Its our bussiness to sell drugs, that cause disability, and psychological suffering.

There are no lab tests,MRIs, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition.

I would meditate if I could figure out a way to stop fidgeting with my genitals when I sit quietly. Then, as things heat up, I inevitably see my scrotum. The sight of that elbow-scrag-covered ball-bag does nothing for my depression. It is a horrible cycle.

@JuniperSprouts I was just watching another youtube video that might be beneficial to you. It is called 'The Psychology of Change' by Rob Williams regarding psych-k. It is about an hour but in the end he will give a demonstration and it seems to make a lot of sense. Hope this helps.

The basics of mindfulness will work to some extent but I feel that it's a bit superficial. If you realize yourself and understand that the mind is not a part of the person and you live your life in the present moment, you start to learn these things from self observation, because you can look at it from a neutral perspective and analyze your mind. I think adyashanti, eckhart tolle, krishnamurti, ramana maharshi, are the people to listen to if you want to get rid of all your wordly pains.

@colloredbrothers There may be 'n' number of lectures and talks to explain the relation between the music and the mind and also there may be a 100 plus practical approaches to support it, but I feel that ultimately, it all comes down to Meditation - Calming down the mind is the main aspect of every technique. The music to achieve this remarkable state of mind, need to not necessarily be a musical instrument. Even the beat of the human heart is a sound that would calm the mind.

I fully agree, zazen meditation to me is the only way.
