First of all, congratulations @ abigail-dantes, as always is another special and inspiring subject as well as beautiful. I think that full attention is a good practice as long as it is guided by a psychologist experts in this practice, full attention makes us live in the present, the awareness of what is happening to us, makes us live fully the moment in that things happen to us or we carry out activities so we can take experiences from them.

Many people who suffer some episode of sadness, seek refuge in trying to evade their suffering, I especially think that you have to live the mourning of any situation however strong, only living the mourning can overcome the circumstances and feelings for get ahead and let those experiences become just a bad memory. Also most people have a deep-rooted habit of covering their experiences with a succession of points of view, opinions and judgments, this happens at the same time as events which makes it very difficult to find any initiative while they are bouncing between a reaction and other.

There may be things that we can not change, such as pain, illness or a difficult circumstance, but at least we can realize how we react or respond to everything that happens to us, and develop strategies to change the relationship we have with our circumstances.

As for the meditation it is very good, it makes us feel liberated, in my house there was a yoga book and as I enjoyed reading a day I decided to read it and I was curious about the techniques that I had to meditate and I put them into practice and I liked them a lot today I have not done it more because of the hectic life I have.
