Ravenscourt: Chapter Four: Physician Heal Thyself
from Monday Matinee · host Jack Ward
In my recovery I practiced mindfulness. Unfortunately it was not popular at the time I was seeing patients. I truly believe it would have been immeasurably helpful to them, some of them. The best description I’ve heard of it is that your thoughts are like a waterfall and the goal is to find a space behind the waterfall: We are not our thoughts.Of course this does remind me of Alicia’s assertion that Boda existed in ‘the shadow behind the mirror’. A kind of dark mindfulness. A malevolent consciousness that exists behind our perceptions of reality.There is more to this world then what is reflected back to us and I must now return to Ravenscourt.Learn more about your ad choices.
