I want to tell you that Mindfulness Breaks™ really work for me! I would like to mention three instances in my life where Mindfulness Breaks really helped me. You can actually read more about these on Meditation Practices and Mindfulness In Healing (websites).
- In 1973, just after my training at a retreat center in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, I used a Mindfulness Break to get a teaching job at the College of Marin, just north of San Francisco. I was living in Evanston, IL and had been teaching data processing at Oakton Community College in Morton Grove, IL (near Chicago). I wanted to be in California, where my son was and all the action.
- In May, 1976, my seven-year-old son presented with a kidney cancer which had metastasized to his lungs. When I learned that he was in the hospital, I cancelled my trip to Esalen with Gabrielle Roth and went right to the hospital. As soon as possible, I did a Mindfulness Break with my son (which became known as a Mind Story for little ones) and continued to do so until I hired Dr. Sheldon Ruderman to take over the imagery work with Micah. Every other night in the month long hospital stay, my girl friend at the time and I did a couple Mindfulness Break in his room.
- On Super Bowl Sunday in 1997, I presented with bladder cancer and opted for a bladder sparing protocol. Mindfulness Breaks, exercise, and other meditation practices got me through this first episode. I have now completed treatment of four additional episodes and I continue to use Mindfulness Breaks to look deeply into myself for the appropriate treatment and recovery. My last treatment was March 9, 2017, so this is an ongoing process.
