I was pleasantly surprised to see this cognitive technique being promoted at the recent Men's Health Summit in Toronto. Imagine, a group of Urologists singing the praise of a millennia old Buddhist practice! But there is medical evidence for it's efficacy, especially in the management of chronic pain. In one study mindfulness meditation provided more relief than morphine. Functional MRI show attenuation of activity in the areas of the brain that regulate the transmission of pain signals, in particular the thalamus and amygdala in those patients who successfully perform daily meditation practices.

There are four types of challenges one might encounter when practicing mindfulness meditation:
- The “sinking” mind, when awareness becomes dull, grey, numb, often resulting in drowsiness and sleep.
- The “thinking” mind, also known as the “monkey mind” that keeps grabbing onto one thought after another.
- Discomfort and pain that disrupts your concentration
- Distracting sensations, such as feeling that you are floating, spinning, or disappearing.

Based on Buddhist traditions and described as “the non-judgmental awareness of experiences in the present moment”, a skill which claims to offer inner equanimity once purposefully honed, mindfulness meditation is having a moment in the West.

June is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month! 💚💚
Post-traumatic stress can occur after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Triggers of the event can cause flashbacks, nightmares, and intense emotional and physical reactions. All of which are normal reactions to abnormal events.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affects around 3.5 percent of United States adults, and an estimated 1 in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. PTSD can occur in all people, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, or culture.
This PTSD Awareness month, Washington Psychological Wellness hopes to help reduce the stigma around post-traumatic stress and help ensure proper treatment for anyone suffering from trauma.

Lucia Brawley, a friend of a former teacher of Martin's, posted this photo on Facebook, according to the Huffington Post. Martin's handmade sign was in response to a lesson on the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida. His words are simple and profound: "No more hurting people. Peace."

Have you ever truly put in the time to consider about what meditation is? Perhaps you have attempted to meditate at once or another, but were never really successful. Why? Is it because you do not know what to do? Not very likely, because you can discover hashed around descriptions of what it is, all over the spots. Actually, the majority of practitioners of meditative exercises will advise you to "empty your mind," but in practice, this is a lot easier said than done. Mindfulness meditation exercises are what you are looking for now. See: ift.tt/1jkTW0M Varied from numerous other meditative styles, mindfulness points out focusing on thought and feelings throughout the meditative sessions which show up during that time. As an example, thinking about the way you feel, or recognizing the sounds and smells all around you. It is necessary to keep in mind that you should not focus too much or linger on thought currently, as is the objective of mindfulness to live in the present, and not be captured by regret of the past or fear of the coming future. All you will learn from our E-Book would be futile if you don’t actually put into practice the mindfulness exercises mentioned. What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation? Mindfulness corresponds to meditation, but different. Mindfulness refers to fully staying and engaging in the present, versus permitting your mind to drift off to other things. The goal is to restrict your attention to your current environment. The belief is that it's only achievable to live in the moment. When your thoughts aren't about your present moment, then you're not truly living. In our FREE E-Book we are revealing mindfulness meditation from every aspects.
