It can happen anytime, anywhere, to every one of us.
And perhaps the most maddening thing about it is that there’s nothing we can do to speed its progress when we want it – or stop it from happening when we don’t.
I’m talking about change . . .
. . . and often the only choice we have in the matter is deciding how we’ll respond.
Sylvia Boorstein, PhD has some insight that can encourage us as we go through all of life’s changes, the good and the bad alike.

Hi Marlene and Nancee,
We’re so glad that you’ve both decided to become Gold Members. When you buy a Gold Membership, you’re getting access to the recordings and transcripts for one webinar series. With each new series, you have the opportunity to listen to the webinars for free at the time of broadcast or to register for a Gold Membership to that particular series.
I hope this helps, and we’ll also give you a call to be sure your questions are answered.
I have a similar question regarding Gold Membership. I signed up as a Gold Member a number of months ago. I appreciate the numerous solicitations regarding new speakers with the option of deleting when not welcomed. However, it appears that a new group of speakers initiates a new $147 fee for the period of time of the presentations, then moving up to the $249–each and every time there is a new group of speakers–which begins to feel very solicitous.
Please inform regarding this Gold Membership status for all groups of new speakers–which I believe should be discounted for any groups of speakers we should decide to purchase once having a purchased a gold membership
Thank you.
mindfulness practiced daily and applied has so much more power than what is ever mentioned on this blog. You therapists have only scratched the surface on a 2600 year old practice.
Some monks have devoted a whole life and still deepen and grow. We in America are such novices at this. We act like we are discovering something new and we are cutting edge, that is laughable, but we are Americans and have these degrees and superior education.
mindfulness/meditation is not a intellectual thing. It is a practice that one has to sit daily for years in silence to attain benefits. That is the only way to know how to use it and apply it. In my opinion.
I became a gold member in 2010; does that qualify me for this? Why do I keep getting solicitations as if I am not? I haven’t had time to even do the ones that I paid for at that time. Let me know my status. Thanks.
how we look at the present is this, life can only be lived in this present moment, any dissociative state is a complete waste of life. When things are bad, let the story go and be present focused on the breath, to see the delusion of thought charged with emotion.
Look at the present as the only place to experience life fully, simple but powerful. Look at the present as the only place true happiness or joy is found.
in fact, this moment is all we have in life, then we move to the next minute without baggage from the previous moment. life is not a destination, a place where awakening or some accomplishment fulfills our desires permanently.
it is the mundane moment to moment experience of one breath after another, nothing else.
Set each day with the mind empty of thought but acutely aware of our breath and find the opportunity for unlimited potential for growth. t happens when the ego is dormant and focus is acute and awareness crystallizes.
This moment is all there is for each one of us, that is the secret.
