Mindfulness Distorted in the West

Really on the money this guy! at 4:38 he mentions how thoughts of others can affects us, that is of course advanced (depending how much we still claim ownership of).

Mindfulness can yield the positives he says only if the subject is able to engage a critical awareness that allows learning from the exposures, that is therapeutic.

The patterns that become our lives where addressed by D. Chopra, hence his coining the expression "shift of paradigm".
