Why Adults Need Mindfulness Training:
“It is easy to get swept away on a strong current of thoughts and feelings. We lose ourselves, and we lose track of what’s actually happening around us. We are obsessed with something that happened in the past, or we are frantically agitated about something that might happen in the future. We are no longer present. Such moments in which we lose our way can do great harm. They make us forgetful and unaware. We are prone to accidents. We can be flooded with feelings of fear and aggression. Many people who have committed acts of violence speak of being lost to themselves in that moment.”
