Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

By Shelly Young, LPC, Health Guide Friday, August 27, 2010

I agree 100% with this post, most people do not understand the power of mindfulness. We live a hurried world and this is why people dismiss mindfulness. And to the previous poster it can help with diabetes, a filmmaker  did a study combining natural healing and mindfulness and it did help people http://www.onlineprnews.com/news/31027-1271354651-a-popular-reverse-diabetes-diet-by-a-moviemaker-is-working-well-for-many.html

Hi Anna:

 

It's unfortunate that I can't express in words the power of mindfulness in my life and what it has done.  In posts, I never discuss specific clients or students, but I have witnessed dramatic life transformation usng mindfulness.  I appreciate your acknowledgment of mindfulness and it's power.
