However, if you can try to sit with your experience and not judge yourself, you can navigate through a divorce mindfully....

Raccoon hair was the defining hairstyle of the emo scene kid. It was virtually impossible to scroll through Myspace without seeing someone show off this look in their newest mirror selfie (taken with a digital camera, of course). This two-toned look was usually comprised of black hair with lighter, horizontal chunky stripes, creating the raccoon tail effect. However, if you weren’t ready to take the plunge and dye your hair, you could easily find raccoon tail hair extensions at your local mall....

Christmas isn’t just about presents, shopping, friends, and family. It’s about celebrating the meaning of Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ and what that means in each of our own lives. I think that sometimes in the hustle & bustle of it all, we get confused on what we are celebrating. I know that for young children it can even be harder since they aren’t able to really come up with presents for others, or can’t focus beyond the point of getting presents....

I don’t begrudge the natural desire to take holiday or party pictures. But I’m interested in how much our relationship with photography has become like our attitude to food and so much else: Speed has gained ascendance over everything. Today’s cameras are remarkable devices. It is easy to take hundreds or even a thousand photos in a single day. I don’t know how you’d count, but I suspect that as many photos have been taken over the last decade as in all of human history preceding....

That was my story, too, until about two years ago. Now I meditate daily, almost every day in some form of “formal” meditation, and every day in “aware of this moment” mindfulness. I’m able to sustain my practice with the help of some people, now friends, who join me regularly in meditation. After a five-day silent retreat in Vermont, year 2000, with Thich Nhat Hanh and his monks and nuns, I returned to Sarasota with the plan to start a meditation group....

Pain abounds, and it’s often so hard to look at. Anyone who has practiced introspection—meditation, psychotherapy—has had to work to separate revelation of their damaging emotional patterns from humiliation about them. They’ve worked to not add shame to challenging states, to keep love and compassion toward themselves the predominant environment within which they can then keep looking.It seems easier, and more automatic, to project that pain outward, to declare someone the “other” and at fault, to feel safe in the certainty that some view you hold is superior to all others, to finally feel you amount to something....
