I discovered Mindful Art Journaling by Rachel Rose on her website or on vimeo under Workshop Muse, yesterday evening and today my first experience : the freedom to mix medium watercolors, a charcoal crayon and color crayons and back to watercolors , energizing effect now about 20 min later ( the picture shows it) also surprising how the « rational » mind at moments wanted to interfere, where the aim of the exercise / practice is to let things emerge as they unfold, letting the impulse bubble up and follow the movement of the hand for me like letting express what is there even i

I came across this reading list at the site of Oxford Mindfulness Center (OMC). It begins with resources for learning mindfulness & MBCT and than goes on to scientific articles. Willem KUYKEN complied ( jun 2019) quite some resources and edited as a pdf (18p.) Mindfulness & MBCT Key resources (reading list). You can find the download link via the aug 2019 Newsletter of OMC, or via the menu For you than resources, than scroll down to additional resources

I came across this one today, on traumacenter.org, related to the field of trauma & and psychotherapy What Are the Benefits of Mindfulness? A Practice Review of Psychotherapy-Related Research Davis D. & Hayes J., American Psychological Association, Psychotherapy Vol.48. No. 2, 2009, pp. 198-208 I saw no search function on the traumacenter site; I got back to it using a search engine and main keywords.

Hi Gillian, I'm glad to hear your interest in the topic / article. I did not put a direct link as I am not keen on reading the policy of mindful.org as to repostig / relinking their articles. I prefer putting the indications like : author, title, date and site on which I found it. They have a search function, using "Salzberg cruelty" , it pointed to the article.

Thank you Gillian this one speaks most to me, maybe for the background mind-patterns it illustrates I came across an article -dated November 13, 2019 - by Sharon Salzberg on mindful.org, which for me is somewhat complementary ( I see harsh self-criticism turning into self-flagellation and eventually self-hatred, also as a form of cruelty). How to Be Kind When Confronted with Cruelty ? Kindness is a force of imagination—a whole-hearted, courageous, genuine awareness that we are all connected.

The answer is yes. What is the situation ? - or "an article about a study highlighting acceptance" published by Jill Suttie on Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley - Title of the article : The Mindfulness Skill that is crucial for Stress based on the study: Psychological mechanisms driving stress resilience in mindfulness training: A randomized controlled trial.

Hey Gillian, This video ( 7 min) is more general : Understanding neuro-plasticity or Using Your Mind to Change Your Brain, the effects of some practices (like gratitude) found "within Mindfulness" are mentioned, described by Rick Hanson

Ohhhh my …. this is a quite tough and complex situation …. your daughter receiving potentially life-threatening diagnosis by her oncologist, besides the shock to learn that, it seems like here you can’t rely on what worked for you until now: I understand you are very deeply worried, afraid of what might be the evolution of that disease with your daughter and maybe there’s also a feeling of overwhelm / mixing of different emotions and also thought-patterns, which show up as «guilt », that’s really no easy situation I wish you all the courage and support you need Hugging you wa

Another one I discovered today : one hour, gently soothing instrumental, so might technically not qualify as a mantra

Thank you luma the earthy colors and the "spiraling" effect of your mandala talk a lot to me , and your Zen-tangle as I see it there, has something grounded and radiating at the same time for me.... Who knows, maybe qualities I am looking to cultivate currently. I wondered if you could upload them to the gallery as well, even if for the moment that is labelled photos. I would be easier for me to see your works again after a while. Wishing you well, tribal

I discovered this one today thanks to another person. 23 minutes, letting emerge a deep feeling of calm for me
