Has anyone looked into the world of their inner child, lately? My inner child likes bears and *loves* water. She also likes burrowing under blankets Try it. It's fun!

@ Duty kiu Kmal This was, indeed, a vague post. I don't believe that mindfulness is mystical either, but I do think it is not well practiced, at least in my neck of the woods. I've been trying to notice sensation and sound more fully and notice thoughts without latching on to them. To...
