Mindfulness: What is it? BBC News
Traditionally a Buddhist form of meditation, its popularity is growing rapidly and it’s now being taught in schools, has been adopted by the national health service and is behind best selling books and top apps. You’re encouraged to focus on living in the moment and its supporters believe it can help deal with stress, mental illness and chronic pain – amongst others. But, how does it work? Benjamin Zand has been giving it a go.

One of the world’s biggest disinfectant manufacturers has issued an urgent warning, after President Trump suggested people could inject themselves with the substance to treat coronavirus.
The company which makes products including Dettol and Vanish warned that âunder no circumstanceâ should its products be administered to humans âthrough injection, ingestion or any other routeâ.
Disinfectants are poisonous if ingested and even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. The Presidentâs comments were heavily criticised by medical experts. Later he said he was simply being sarcastic. 50,000 people have now died in the United States from coronavirus infection.

The UK Prime Minister’s demand for an early General Election looks set to be rejected by Members of Parliament after opposition parties agreed it shouldn’t take place until after the European Union Summit in mid-October.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru the party of Wales say they won’t back the government’s bid for an election. They declared they wanted an extension to the Brexit date of October 31st to guarantee that the UK won’t leave the EU without a deal.
On a visit to Scotland, Mr Johnson accused them of making an “extraordinary political mistake”. It came as the House of Lords approved a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit. It will get royal assent and become law on Monday.

A post-Brexit trade deal has finally been agreed, four and a half years after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it would protect jobs and provide certainty for business.
After months of talks and frantic last-minute wrangling over fishing, negotiators finally reached agreement on Christmas Eve, with just a week to go before the deadline when the UK’s transition period was coming to an end.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula Von de Leyen, described it as a good and fair agreement.
Some business leaders said the agreement had come as a âhuge reliefâ. However others â along with some British politicians â said they would wait to study the details of the agreement before reaching a judgement on it.

President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman – a US ally – if it “gets in the way” of his administration’s own talks with Iran, Fox News reports.
The US and Oman have separately been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.
The threat came after the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides expired. The future of talks between the US and Iran is now unclear.

If we want to have a more mindful life, we will need to become more aware of what we expose ourselves to. And we need to be aware of how I am being affected by what I expose myself to. This is especially crucial in these unusual times.

Is there a slightly less insulting synonym of 'useless pretentious wank' to describe mindfulness? I think about stuff; I can only relax when all my tasks have been completed. Taking 10 minutes away doesn't get stuff done. We do this at school.

Training attention is good. Though I think this should be combined with relaxation for better effect.
I'm reluctant to get involved with this stuff because of the sew-age nonsense that comes with it. Even "secular" mindfulness seems quite religious.
If you think that the only reason people suffer is because of "bad" thoughts, then you are an idiot and a bane on society.

Wait so can someone describe mindfulness to someone who has literally no common sense or perception? Is it basically just "Thinking about stuff" or "being in the present"? Because thinking about things and being in the moment are two different things.

I recently discovered a few new things about mindfulness, which I put forward in my book The Relaxation Principle. I'm fascinated with this issue of how mindfulness is used. We can forget that mindfulness is always for the purpose of something. It seems to me that mindfulness is best employed for reducing unnecessary effort – what I call the relaxation principle. In this light it could be true that some people will use it wrongly and just waste time, or worse – use it to manipulate their experience rather than making real changes in their life. This is also like using it too forcefully. The website for my book is here –Â

Erm, at 2:30. He is fairly softly spoken so I may have misheard but did he claim that it is at least as effective as drugs at treating cancer? Dealing with stress and the like I can well imagine, but meditation for dealing with cancer? I'd like to see some citations for those studies, preferably followed by lots of good quality follow up studies if they are going to make that sort of claim!
Sounds dangerously close to woo when he went there.
