Dear Hillary,list,
lovely to see the door open :)
I particularly liked the description given:
"The Wisconsin researchers, for example, are focusing on three common forms
of Buddhist meditation. ''One is focused attention, where they specifically
train themselves to focus on a single object for long periods of time,''
Davidson says. ''The second area is where they voluntarily cultivate
compassion. It's something they do every day, and they have special
exercises where they envision negative events, something that causes anger
or irritability, and then transform it and infuse it with an antidote, which
is compassion. They say they are able to do it just like that,'' he says,
snapping his fingers. ''The third is called 'open presence.' It is a state
of being acutely aware of whatever thought, emotion or sensation is present,
without reacting to it. They describe it as pure awareness.'' "
:)
