This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My experience from taking the MBSR was that the match of meditation techniques to practitioner was wildly idiosyncratic.

I think the best thing about that class is that it just exposes you to a dozen or so different styles, and hopefully you like one or two.

My experience with the body scan is that it is best done guided, at least for the first few years, because you need to be walked through your blind spots.
