I've thoroughly enjoyed teaching this meditation and mindfulness (M&M) course over almost three years. My reward is seeing participants discover and develop better ways of living. I refer to the students as participants because they learn mostly by their own observation and experimentation.
The practice of mindfulness is about being present for your life and experiencing it just as it is, without the judgments that can lead you to a conditioned reaction. I remember this every morning when I take my shower.
Our body and mind are the two sides of the stress experience because they are so completely connected.
