They are hard and take practice.

  21. Mindfulness Skills: Three types of mind • Rational Mind: rational, thinking, logical mind. • Emotional Mind: In emotional mind when your emotions are in control of thinking or behavior. Emotional mind is important. • Wise mind: integration of rational mind and emotional mind. Wise mind is that part of each person that can know and experience truth. It is the integration of many types of knowing, knowing by observing, analyzing, knowing by what we experience in our bodies.

  22. Mindfulness: being a personal scientist: what skills • Observe: pay attention to current moment. • Step back and watch what’s happening inside of you and outside of you. • Control attention but not content. • Describe: Put words to experience. Just describe facts without your own theories. • Feel the feelings -- Drop the story-line • Participate- Enter completely into the moment.
