Be patient, the effects can be very subtle and not immediate. Thinking you're doing something wrong is part of the practice, just keep doing it. Hope this helps.

I did it because I think i'm too sceptic to start with some oriental meditation, I needed something a little more "scientific" but I'm not feeling any results; I've just began with the first chapter and i'm pretty sure that I have to be patient, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, I'm able to pay attention in my own body and I appreciate that but I was expecting to feel connected everytime with myself and I haven't achieved that. I want to know what I need, want and truly desire the whole time. I read this article about non-stoping tasks at work ('cuz that's my case) but I guess I need to become more systematic. Could you please help me? I’ve recently bought the workbook in Spanish language.

The critical question in my life has been "Where did the time go?"I asked this question when my sons moved to their own homes, when my parents died and on many other occasions.The foremost feeling associated with that question is quilt and remorse that I was not completely present in those times, fully experiencing them.But since I have been practicing mindfulness I have become a little bit more present in my owm life and less inclined to fill my waking hours with just things to do.

I have two boys aged 2 and 4, and they are so full of life and love, that they want to share with me. ME, for a short period of time, I´m (and their Dad) the one they want to be with the most. And I must admit, that I enjoy life the most, when I surrender to them and their play. Knowing deep within that this moment is all that counts. THIS moment has it all, it is the doorway to my own presence, and yes, my boys teach me that all the time. They know it already. So go out and play, bring joy to your life and see it blossom :-) I so agree with you, Elisha. I have two boys aged 2 and 4, and they are so full of life and love, that they want to share with me.
