Dear Lsler:

I think I see your point, you constantly thinking and over analyzing.. like I used to be, very much so. I used to be like a huge floating head thinking so much, as if hardly connected to a body and hardly connected, and almost disconnected from what was outside of my… floating head. This was not Mindfulness.

What I found out and need to return to again and again is that I am only am a FEELING person, not just a thinking person. I am not a machine, a logic machine. My emotions, those are so important in giving me information about me and others, about what is going on. There is no way to figure out what is going on and what to do without getting the info from my emotions. Mindfulness is accessing the emotions and paying attention to the outside of me, outside of my thinking.

You asked what do I think. Well, I think that I have been thinking too much. I am not getting an understanding at this moment of your last paragraph. Maybe you can rephrase it?

I sure hope that what I wrote so far here is relevant to you, is it? Let’s keep talking, if you’d like.
