Hello all, I've signed up mainly to find a support system as I finally have the courage to do mindfulness meditation. I've done mantra meditation for years, but a combination of depression, anxiety, mild ADHD and intense trauma prevented me from ever doing mindfulness practices, because I was afraid it would destabilize me.
I think it's going to be challenging to dive into mindfulness, especially as I start Michael Brown's "The Presence Process", so I'll be reading these forums a lot for encouragement, support and guidance, since I like some of the threads here.
A summary of some of my practices and my spiritual background:
- Hindu mystic (Shaiva tradition)
- practitioner of Siddha healing
- Tarot reader, although I don't do it professionally; it's mostly for my own guidance and communication with the deities I worship (and my ancestors)
