Mindfulness is an active state of mind and it is a personal state of mind, there is no one-size-fits-all definition, no single way of practicing.

Hello and welcome to my book Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes December 20, 2022. It was a shock. It brought a number of thoughts, and fears, to the surface. It brought a sense of my life being at risk. As you will learn from this book, my perspective on diabetes was horrendously negative.

This book is an introduction to Karma. In the west we talk of karma as if it were something like a justice system. A system that includes a mechanism that recognizes and establishes the value of good and bad karmic actions, whether they are accidental or intentional. It ensures all involved receive “their just deserts” according to the value/cost of their actions. Another western view of karma is something like an Excel worksheet containing a record of all good and bad karmic actions by a person. Karma from good actions wipes out, or offsets bad actions, four units of good karma offsets...
