Joseph Goldstein leads a guided meditation on how to deal with afflictive emotions, among them anger, sadness, grief, and anxiety.
If you are having a hard time with your afflictive emotions, these Mindfulness Exercises For Calm, Contentment & Happiness may help.
With depression on the rise across all age groups, and stress a common part of many people’s lives, it can seem that something about the way we are living is weighing on us. Social media and technology at our fingertips, weaker community ties, and excessive materialism are among the possible reasons, and they are likely intricate and heavily intertwined.
While the standard of living has advanced greatly in the Western world, mental wellbeing remains a concern for many. This may be one reason more people are turning to mindfulness as a way to ease some of the burden of modern life. Mindfulness practice may help with the underlying suffering we experience, supporting a greater sense of inner calm, contentment, and happiness.
