Posted by Nat on 12/4/2004, 5:02 pm, in reply to "This is where I'm at " I understand what you mean by simply being with the feeling. But at one point, I became really confused, because for a while i just felt the feeling, and i seemed to get worse, that is, i was negative, in a bad mood all the time, and it affected my relationships with others. therefore, it was quite destructive in a way. so, as i said, i got confused with the whole feeling the feeling thing. so, i decided to incorporate more mindfulness techniques into my work, which has provided some amazing insights - it's more like watching the thoughts and feelings, rather than being the thoughts and feelings. i feel mindfulness has helped especially becasue i don't feel much at all - i think a hell of a lot, but have realy trouble feeling. --Previous Message--

Hi there
i feel that the book only slightly touched on mindfulness (the witness), but it's an extremely useful tool.
