They are like magnets attracting people who are in dire need of a listener. I know because I was one of them. And over the years, I’ve learned that the real challenge underlying all of the stuff they talked about was acceptance. People felt rejected, heartbroken, beaten up emotionally because they felt that the life they were living wasn’t the life that they were supposed to be living. They mourned their inability to look a certain way, be a certain kind of person or get married and have kids by a certain age and be nurtured unconditionally by two loving parents. But life never unfolds the way we think it’s supposed to. And there is a lot of grief in that. One of the most painful things to con...

Kidding, NOT founder “Hatred cannot coexist with loving-kindness, and dissipates if supplanted with thoughts based on loving-kindness.” – The Dhammapada In a recent issue of the Journal of Positive Psychology researchers Michael Cohn and Barbara Fredrickson were able to demonstrate the sustainability of positive experiences with subjects who had engaged in loving kindness meditation (LKM). This is the first time researchers from the field of positive psychology have demonstrated that an intervention designed to enhance subjects’ well-being produced sustainable results. Prior to this the positivity of any specific intervention was notable, but its enduring effects were unknown. The researchers were a...

We all have experienced hurt and pain in our lives. Sometimes we are exposed to experiences so painful that they leave marks that are difficult to heal-especially if we feel somone has wronged us or harmed us. 1. Acknowledge the problem Figure out what it is that’s causing you to hold a grudge. You have to know what the problem is in order to solve it. When you allow yourself to see the real issue you can then make a choice to move forward from there. 2. Share your feelings. A grudge can form when an issue isn’t fully confronted. Without being judgmental about yourself or another, clarify your feelings on the situation. Then, decide if this is something you will work on in your own heart or by contacting the ...

The short-term gains are the things we can do today that help us feel better immediately. We can wake up in the morning, read for a few minutes in our meditation book, and feel lifted. We can work a Step and often notice an immediate difference in the way we feel and function. We can go to a meeting and feel refreshed, talk to a friend and feel comforted, or practice a new recovery behavior, such as dealing with our feelings or doing something good for ourselves, and feel relieved. There are other benefits from recovery, though, that we don’t see immediately on a daily or even a monthly basis. These are the long-term gains, the larger progress we make in our life.

Every thirty minutes. Every. Damn. Night. ----- I've not been sleeping well, in fact I've hardly been sleeping at all. The best I can manage is a half doze before the bitch wakes me up. For the past few nights there has been a mosquito in my flat. Every half hour she has been buzz bombing my face, looking to land in order to suck my blood. Try as I might I can't catch her. So every half hour I slam on the bedside lamp, grab my glasses and rolled up copy of Wired Magazine and dance futilely around my bedroom trying to track her down. But she always seems to vanish, only to return half an hour later as I've just dropped off to sleep. If I could I'd just sleep and let her feed - I've been bitten so many times the bites d...

I keep thinking 'no-one listens', or at least nobody who has any power to change anything.* What I should be writing about is the private ambulance companies that are being contracted to do our A&E emergency work, which is an incredibly bad idea. I should be writing about the utter tosh calls I've been going on of late. I could even be moaning about how our training day was 'postponed' because there is no-one to train us, and even if there was they have no idea how to train us, or what to train us in. I'm sure it's just the season and that, come spring and a bit more energy, I will once more be w...

It started when Amazon pulled all the ebooks published by Macmillan from their Kindle store. Speculation ran rife - it eventually seems to have boiled down to Macmillan wanting to set the price of their ebooks and adopt an 'agency' model while Amazon wants to keep the status quo. I shall leave it to the wonderful John Scalzi and Charlie Stross to explain. Do I think Macmillan (or anyone else) will be able to sell $15 ebooks? They could; after all, they sell $25 hardcovers (and similar amounts for ebooks, depending on the retailer). Now, some people won’t spend that much for a book, so they pick up the book later when it’s an $8 paperback. That’s fine, ...

He's slipped on the ice coming out of his house, we are sent to the call as 'Fallen over, leg is at a funny angle'. We get there, he's broken his leg all right. He's lovely, the family are lovely. He has waited one and a half hours for an ambulance. I am furious. He has been laying on the ice for that long without an ambulance. I've just come from the hospital - the police have been bringing in patients with possibly broken ankles because there are not enough ambulances. ----- Apparently it doesn't matter, as the 'public perception' of the service is high.

Which is kind of the root of our problem. For my last four night shifts I'd spent my time going to people who really didn't need an ambulance. They fell into one (or more) of a number of categories. The 'I want treatment now'. This group of people really have no idea what an ambulance is for - they've had a pain in your arm for four days, haven't taken any painkillers, haven't seen a GP and now at 3am in the morning decide that now is the perfect time to pick up a phone and dial 999. Explaining to these people that this is not what the ambulance service is for will only resu...

I'm reproducing his whole article because I believe that it is important to get this message out there, and I hope he doesn't mind that I want to make sure that people read his article and aren't put off by having to follow a link. I also humbly suggest that you go and read his blog. Then head over to the Open Rights Group and see how you can help. Even if it is just phoning your MP to let them know that punishment without trial is terribly un-British.

But when I write it now, it is intended for anyone dealing with such attempts at erasure. I am writing it because it gets right down to the core of the problem, rather than getting lost in details thrown around by those attempting the erasing, the ones they will try to distract a person with. I am writing it because I know several people right now, Sharisa included, who might need to remember this: Remember that when they attack someone you are not, they are not attacking you. They are just attacking something they think is you, an illusion in their heads. It can harm you, because it can make people mistake the illusion for you, and they can act badly towards you bas...

This is sad news: Left Brain/Right Brain is one of the oldest and best-read autism blogs out there and whatever your views on the causes of autism, autism treatments, neurodiversity, cure, acceptance, and more, Kev always provided thoughtful, thought-provoking, and plain provocative posts. His occasional mentions of his daughter Megan were full of love and warmth. And it’s because of the postings about his daughter and in her name by someone named John Best (his blog is called “Hating Autism,” and I think the title provides a sense of where he is coming from) that Kev has decided to stop blogging.

He’d apparently been threatening to post these pictures for awhile. Please note: There is no excuse in the universe for doing this. Even if what he said were true.
