Thank you so much for your help. All my life I have been an obsessive thinker. I know it is difficult for everyone to become focused and mindful. Gallen, your words "Stay neutral... don't react to thinking" meant alot to me... because my reaction to my thinking is more thinking about it! I have made some major improvements and my mindfulness through the day is increasing. But some days... well you know, I just feel "frenetic". It is my hope that someday I will be able to focus and direct my energy.
I didn't know where to post, but the meditation practice I have just started using is Jeddah's Seeds of Enlightenment, which I find incredible.
The message I am hearing is practice, pratice practice. Now you think this wouldn't be so hard for an obsessive personality to do... oh yeah I forgot to mix it with patience! (That was supposed to be the humor part.)
Again, thank you Gallen and Shawn for your support and love.
