Editor's Notes
- IMPORTANT NOTES At the beginning of the training, some participants argued that mindfulness practice causes them to experience even more thoughts and sensations than before. It is likely that this is occurring because they are becoming increasingly aware of their thoughts and body sensations. Until now, although these thoughts were present, participants were simply less aware of them. The good news is that this awareness is the first step toward change. Once we become aware of how much time we spend in our head, we can both feel the urgency to change and take appropriate steps to make the desired change effective. Participants who find it difficult to start practicing mindfulness may benefit from the advice provided in Chapter 11 of his manual.
