Summary of Jackson MacKenzie & Shannon Thomas's Whole Again - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The process of healing requires dedication and commitment to daily practice, even when it feels like you're getting nowhere. It takes months or years of changing the channel to change old habits and patterns. With time, this becomes more and more automatic. #2 Mindfulness is not about clearing your thoughts, but simply noticing what's going on in a non-judgmental way.
It helps you become aware of your default thinking patterns, and realize how you think. #3 As we start to understand our own behaviors, there will be difficult, painful feelings that surface. These feelings will take over and convince you that they are the truth. Mindfulness will allow you to acknowledge that these feelings are real, but not necessarily true, so that you can continue walking through this pain without being consumed by it or distracted by it. #4 The story of why you feel the way you do is not important.
When you get into explanations, stories, or justifications of why, then you are splitting off from the experience itself.
