The problems you mentioned, while being a completely different matter, will not (and should not) be solved by mindfulness anyway. You are exactly approving my point that it's the adults who need to solve their problems (on different le

This is a subject where you don't need to know (intellectually), the experience is more important. Do you "know" joy better by experiencing it or by learning from a textbook or a school class?

Depending on a situation I can do that as well. I do not exclude any possibility, what will work - I will do. Whatever "kinds" of people you invented - this is only your own problem.

I think if needed it can be learned later, I don't see any problem with that. I started being interested in meditation around 23 when I was on the very bottom of my emotional state. But I see that most people around me never experience

In my experience kids, until a certain age, run around, scream, shout, full of excitement, happiness, and life. But once they start looking at adults - all they see only dark, gloomy, lifeless serious faces and so they start becoming the sa
