Jason, Pardon my "answering for Steve." However, since I'm doing so, I'd say "address the problem" not the "source." And that raises the question of what is...

Hi Maarten, Good question. IMHO the concept of mindfulness is not the same as doing meditation in 'the right way', it's more important to find your own way of...
