As someone who has utilized mindfulness as the cornerstone of my own healing process I have to say that what is wrong with most pop treatments of meditation in general is that they fail to warn the reality. It's taken years of profound mindfulness practice that has demanded going deep into the darkest parts of the human psyche...in this process I've learned how to listen to my body and follow my own guidance. I've learned to shut out all the multiple conditioned voices of our ugly capitalistic system and come back to myself. ... What they don't tell you is that mindfulness in process...deep profound, honest mindfulness can alienate and isolate while on the way to well-being.
Mindfulness: dangerous business
