Good afternoon, my name is Craig Burns, and I’m the CEO of Our Mindful Process.
This is my logo, and it represents a four-book process designed to teach you how to live in the present moment.
As my website suggests, whether you’re on the street or in a correctional facility, if you spend most of your time thinking about the future or the past, then your mind is the prison—not where you’re at.
Be curious. We’re asking you to try this process because it teaches you how to live now.
Here’s how it starts:
- You come to the meditation seat for five minutes a day in the first lesson.
- Each day you read just three pages.
- Then, you increase the time by one minute per day—six minutes the next day, then seven—until you reach the 35th day.
- By then, you’re practicing for 40 minutes daily.
You can meditate almost anywhere: in the bathtub, at the dinner table, on the metro, or while taking a walk.
The point is this: when you live now, you become aware of thoughts about the past or future—and you begin to see them for what they are. Illusions. They don’t exist in the present, and they only feed negative emotional states like fear, loneliness, anger, guilt, shame, and sadness.
This process teaches you not to react automatically to those emotions. Instead, you learn to observe them, reduce compulsive thinking, and let your heart—connected to the universe—solve problems with you.
If you want to see how this works, go to OurMindfulProcess.com, click into the first book Beginning, and scroll through the pictures. It will take you step-by-step through the first lesson.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate you being here.
