Here's a link to a story this morning on NPR about mindfulness meditation for pain management... they're talking about physical pain, but it would work for emotional pain, too. The main idea is to stay IN THE MOMENT because that's all we ever have-- just this instant. Everything happens NOW. Nothing happens in the past or future-- ever.
Mojo, we don't make a choice to live in the moment-- it's where we do live. We have no choice. Even when we fantasize that we're in the past or future, we're not.
