One BBC reporter experiences an 8 week course of Mindfulness Meditation. For those of you who regularly follow my blog you will know that I practice mindfulness always. It has changed my life and the lives of those around me. Living in the present means that e.g. when I am with my children they get 100% of my attention, when I walk my dog, all of my senses are awakened making the colours crisper, perfumes more fragrant and my dog incredibly amusing. It also means that when difficulties arise I experience them for what they are no more and no less. I am then able to live my life, unburdened by memories of the past or thoughts of the future.
