Dear Alan, meditate? Ok, I ain't trained. Missed it. Is it too late? Looking at meditation in wikipedia it tells me: "Meditation may be used with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, and increasing peace, perception,[7] self-concept, and well-being.[8][9][10][11] Meditation is under research to define its possible health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and other effects." Shocked myself with the section "criticism": "The psychologist Thomas Joiner argues that modern mindfulness meditation has been "corrupted" for commercial gain by self-help celebrities, and suggests that it encourages unhealthy narcissistic and self-obsessed mindsets." Hope you you all enjoy a lovely Sunday. mmp Am 17.08.2019 um 11:08 schrieb Alan Halford via OSList: > I have a vague and distant memory of seeing/hearing HO saying or being quoted > “ The only training you need for OST is to meditate” > Not sure whether I imagined it, but it was a decisive reason for me to delve > into the world of OST > AND it’s still > “Issue the invitation, sit in a circle, create an agenda and get to work” > WHOO HOO > Alan > *Alan Halford & Associates* > *Open Space Technology Aficionados > Mediation and Conflict Transformation* Alan Halford & Associates Open Space Technology Aficionados Mediation and Conflict Transformation Facilitators www.alanhalford.com.au <http://www.alanhalford.com.au/> www.conflictcompany.com.au <http://www.conflictcompany.com.au/> 0421 475 252 skype: alanhalford
