Thank you Zachery so much for this presentation. I have been exploring the various presentations and meditations on Insight Timer with the Mindfulness Meditation sticking out in my head for some reason but I didn’t understand its purpose. I’ve also been struggling with Al-Anon use of the Serenity Prayer and not being able to grasp what were the things I couldn’t change. I come from a highly controlling and enmeshed family with whom I’ve lived as a caretaker and receiver all my life and currently. I volunteered to be with my Mom as she ages to prevent her from being put in a nursing home but it creates lots of clashes because she wants to control my every move and thought. She is further frustrated by the fact that my behavior is Extreme different from hers as her background is from a different country and era, and I have ADHD and a very different perspective on life. My struggle of acceptance is mostly familial. But I’m so grateful for this presentation because I can now take this tool to understand how to use Mindedness meditation and the serenity prayer to find the different aspects of my life and accept them thus releasing all the energy of trying to change something that won’t change and move productively to something that’s been ignored that can change which is also me and my attitude. Now I know what to work on for Lent. :-) Thank you again. Blessings to you and all on this journey. Warmly, Anne
