Interesting thoughts. Eventually... I wonder though, for whatever reasons we do it.. isnt being mindful better than being mindless...? “For Britton, this widespread assumption — that meditation exists only for stress reduction and labor productivity, ‘because that’s what Americans value’ — narrows the scope of the scientific lens. When the time comes to develop hypotheses around the effects of meditation, the only acceptable — and fundable — research questions are the ones that promise to deliver the answers we want to hear.” And for Dr. Britton, Mr. Rocha writes, mindfulness in its original Buddhist tradition “is not about being able to stare comfortably at your computer for hours on end, or get ‘in the zone’ to climb the corporate ladder” — it’s about gaining insight into the human condition. op-talk.blogs.nytimes/2014/06/30/the-mindfulness-backlash/?_php=true&_type=blogs&smid=pl-share&_r=0
