The good news is there is no ground." by Trungpa...<br /><br /> i am happy to read you have embarked on this journey into mindfulness and think you will find much to ponder in the teachings.. i have studied Buddhism for decades and it has saved my life more than once. What school are studying or is it a basic meditation class?...as for a mantra, my teacher taught me that the first should be, and should be means nothing, Ohm Au Hum while focusing upon the crown, throat and heart, over and over like a circle. In zen, you can count your breaths to 10 and each time you find your mind wandering from it's counting, you simply start again. One of the reasons I do not practice Zen... ;) I studied Tibetan Buddhism.

It's a word that teenagers here use a lot to match their numpty-heads!<br /><br />Seriously though, Steve, a friend or two of mine are now Buddhists. One left Blogland to commit more to it but the change in the one that still keeps in touch is phenomenal. Only Buddhists reach and feel true contentment.

I shied away from Eastern teachings when younger for fear of upsetting the family apple cart. I'm so glad you are feeling renewed by this new part of your journey. <br />PS Re: the "results" from In Over My Head that I was referring to were from the photography class I had taken last weekend.
