Lou Carcasole - P. Eng., MBA, M. Ed. I started my own Mindfulness training in 1987 with Shinzen Young, and began teaching Mindfulness 1996. Since then I've taught Mindfulness to thousands on people. If you want to more about how I went from engineering to become a Mindfulness Meditation teacher, this is my story.
Stress is like sand in an engine. It generates a lot of heat and friction resulting in unnecessary wear and tear, loss of performance, and ultimately, engine break down.
MINDFULNESS involves working on two fundamental skills: Awareness (focus, concentration) and Equanimity (non-judgment, relaxation, calm). These can be developed through systematic practice.
Following are some typical results achieved by individuals and groups that I've taught.
"Meditation gave me my life back. I just wanted to thank you again for everything Lou. You have been a great inspiration and I am a better and happier person for having had the opportunity to meet you and work with you."
Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, in a nonjudgmental way, to the present moment – to what is happening within and around us right now. When we pay attention in this way, we see things more clearly and develop a greater understanding of why things are the way they are.
