3 Do you think anticipative mindfulness can be quantified (using time)?

Dear Lonny Meinecke and Rakesh Pandey, I am happy to have found this inspiring conversation and I am thankful for your interest in my thesis. I agree on the notion that assessing individual differences in interpretation and connotations of the concept of 'the present' is both crucial and not easily accomplished. The 'real present' defined as a singular 'point' cannot be the object of subjective experience (James). The 'present' that we are able to subjectively experience, referred to as 'specious present' (Clay, James), is an interval which also includes aspects of the very near past, rather than being a single cutout of reality. At this moment I am working on my master thesis. The purpose of that project is the creation of a 'positive present' time perspective scale, which by now is absent in time perspective assessment. To conceptualize 'positive present', aspects of mindfulness and flow are combined to approach a healthy relation to the subjectively experienced present, which we assume to facilitate positive mental health. With this project we aim at operationalizing a 'relation to the present', which is more strongly linked to eudaimonic subjective well-being, compared to the present-hedonistic time perspective from the ZTPI, which is linked to hedonic subjective well-being. The article 'Mental health and mindfulness: Mediational role of positive and negative affect' is very inspiring and I surely will cite it in my thesis. I would strongly appreciate to continue this conversation and if you are interested, I would like to share ideas on this psychological and philosophical subjects with you.

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction in regards to extracting medicinal constituents from herbs. I realize some properties are water soluble and others are fat soluble, but I am having difficulty understanding which are which and why. Is there a book on the subject that I could get that is essentially chemistry for dummies that can help me understand which herbs are best for infusions and which are best for decoctions?

I think SIDS may be due to a sudden discharge of gunge from the middle ear cavity down lax or wide eustachian tubes (see Arch Gen Psych 2008;65:1457) into lungs or stomach. Dummies with their associated jaw movements may well stop this happening.

I would like to thank you Timothy for these (amazingly coincidental) helps. Both your PSMS/SBI work and the Zimbardo article were what I needed to piece this together (well, hopefully). My project was about elevating the affective anticipation of paraplegic persons during the intervals between illusion therapy sessions. The role of time in consciousness is such an intrigue for research. Based on what I am seeing, our sense of consciousness is fully amnestic, and so urgency requires we fashion meaning by prediction alone. We have a sense of our future (prescience) and one of our past (reminiscence) between which we imagine a present sense of doubtful self confirmation. Reminiscence uses a past-predictive mechanism stemming from a future sense of the past, and we project our self into the future as though it had already occurred (again, like recalling the past predictively since we only stored suggestions of the past) - to estimate what to do next. Present mindfulness seems already too late to achieve adequate acquisition of desired stimuli (because the PFC is kind of the "last to know") so the present too, is pure prediction. It seems like we are really just the convergence where our past and future approximately meet, and this predicts (within us) where and what we are. We prepare ourselves mostly by "aiming" attention in the direction most likely to fulfill expectation, and getting proximal to gain the most frequency of it (maybe a kind of intentive tropism). This article reinforces the possibility that time approaches or departs the locus we hold dearly as ourselves; and as it departs, it hurts like any sorrow made of substance, by our measure of the worth it seemed to confer between us. Matching expectation is everything to us, because we cannot see anything we have not guessed is there to look for, already. So positive anticipation, as a span of time we help them gain, is so valuable, to persons needing hope for tomorrow. Your sharing of these has given me even more directions to trace this research, thank you.

I work in Forensic mental health and view resilience in a similar way to Peter. We work with an individuals ability to overcome set backs and illness episodes with a focus on community and social support networks, stress management skills, coping, self-awareness, daily living skills to enable participation in the wider community and ability to negotiate various social and government systems to function successfully. I guess diet and food plays a part in overall personal resilience, but my understanding is much broader. If I view resilience in this way, the answer to your question is definately 'yes'.

These side effects are (or at least should be) well known in the medical community and yet this information is generally not shared up-front with patients – at least from my experience. The side effects may or may not manifest in the patient, however, if they do then they are generally on-going. Other sexual side effects can include lowered libido and diminished vaginal moisture. I am a holistic practitioner, not an MD, and my answer is certainly colored by that distinction. I prefer working with the client to naturally reduce anxiety, depression, and stress and encourage them to work with their prescribing doctor on reducing, changing, or eliminating the medication. Stress reduction techniques, dietary changes, mindfulness practices, acupuncture, and a variety of other mind-body approaches effectively treat not only symptoms but the underlying causes. There are many, many studies available on alternative treatments for anxiety, depression, and stress reduction showing these methods to work as well as medication.

From this web page: http://www.nutrilite.com/en-us/Nature/Nutrients/omega-fatty-acids.aspx "There are no known side effects associated with increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids through foods, although fish oil capsules do pose the risk of a "burp" factor – a harmless, sometimes unpleasant, fishy aftertaste that occurs with some brands of fish oil capsules." Dr. Raymond Peat argues that increasing omega-3 to balance the 6s is problematic. http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/fats-degeneration3.shtml

However, we invite all member scientists to chime in on the merits of "Predictive Health". Can and will it revolutionize defunct Health-care Systems? Can it save money and lives? Does it contribute to improved Quality of Life? How should we predict future Health risks?
