Re: Mindfulness

Thank you for expanding on what we were discussing on the other thread. You are so much more succinct and expressive! Yes, "mindfulness" was the concept I was trying to describe. I have taken some mindful meditation courses by a follower of Jon Cabot-Zin ( but of course I forget to practice it!) and the sensation of suspension in time and space is a welcomed thing. Leaving the mind open to let new ideas float in. New insights. Moments of clarity. Peace Being totally in the moment
My special place is creating art. When in my studio I loose all sense of time while "in the zone"
And I hope for everyone to keep the faith
