Time is one of our most precious resources – it’s often very limited, and always non-renewable.
So choosing what we spend our time on can be a delicate balancing act.
But Jack Kornfield, PhD says there’s something we can add to our daily routines that’s less of a chore and more of a chance – an opportunity for us to acquire and maintain a stable outlook even amidst the 24 mercurial hours in each day.
He gives us his take below – check it out.
It might sound like a paradox, but maximizing the time we spend meditating could help us maximize our time in general, not to mention the peace of mind that can come from a mindful lifestyle.

How can I charge this to my credit card, but give it as a gift to someone else?

The time needed to impact life depends on what kind of mindfulness model you choose. I have seen individuals impact PTSD or depression in a month of daily work.
The trick is teaching how to apply mindfulness with every trigger thought or strong negative emotion. being aware and staying present is key.
The goal of mimdfulness is to reach a no thought stage with awareness crystal clear. If you can build focus on the breath so emotions and thoughts clear, that is the landscape of the mind without thought, healing happens quickly. repeated application as triggers enter our consciousness trains the mind to function with a clear landscape.
I agree whole heartedly with your comments. To me meditation helps with staying the the “Here and Now.” And what ever is going on. And as you say it allows us to consider but not become attached to inner consciousness as it pops up. The method is called RAIN Recognize = R, Accept = A, Investigate = I and N = Non-attach. Over the last several years I have been able to not only recognize and investigate I have chosen Freud’s mode of Id , Ego, and Super Ego as places to put the items. this is helping me learn more about myself without getting stressed.
