We Are All Armenian - Voices...

Aram Mrjoian

A collection of essays about Armenian identity and belonging in the diaspora. 
 
 
 
In the century since the Armenian Genocide, Armenian survivors and their descendants have written of a vast range of experiences using storytelling and activism, two important aspects of Armenian culture. Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it. 
 
 
 
We Are All Armenian brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to reflect on the complications of Armenian ethnic identity today. These personal essays elevate diasporic voices that have been historically silenced inside and outside of their communities, including queer, multiracial, and multiethnic writers. The eighteen contributors to this contemporary anthology explore issues of displacement, assimilation, inheritance, and broader definitions of home. Through engaging creative nonfiction, many of them question what it is to be Armenian enough inside an often unacknowledged community.

The Beauty Of Being Old - The...

Sripad Jagannatha Dasa

As you stand before the mirror, you may glimpse something unexpected—a reflection that feels familiar and strange. The face staring back at you shows the subtle marks of time. The youthful smoothness is replaced with the creases of age, and hair that once held vibrant color now carries a shade of gray. The body that once moved with ease now speaks in aches and fatigue. With each passing day, it may feel like something is being taken away—a vitality that once felt eternal and is now slipping away. But what if this view of aging is not the full truth? What if, instead of fearing it, we could embrace it? The Buddha often spoke of impermanence, the truth that everything in life always changes. "All conditioned things are impermanent," he taught, and when we see this with wisdom, we can turn away from suffering. In Buddhist thought, aging is not something to resist, but a natural part of life's unfolding. The more we resist it, the more we suffer, because we are fighting against the natural way of the world. It is not aging that causes pain, but our attachment to the belief that things should remain as they were. The fear of aging comes from our desires, from longing for the way things once were. Time moves forward, and so must we. The Buddha reminds us that nothing in this world is permanent, and all things arise and pass away. When we accept this reality, we are free to live with grace and peace. Aging becomes a part of the natural rhythm of life, not something to fear. It is through this acceptance that we find wisdom. As we grow older, we understand that those ahead of us on this journey are simply at a different stage, not different from us. And as we age, we shed the past and move forward with deeper wisdom. The Buddha teaches that the body is not the self, and it is this deeper truth that helps us find peace in the midst of change.

Mindfulness for Women with ADHD...

Deepak Bhosle

Introduction to ADHD in Women
Though ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in boys and men, it affects girls and women as well. A recent study found that girls with ADHD are more likely to have anxiety and mood disorders, as well as problems with social interactions. They are also more likely to have lower self-esteem and problems with body image.
There is still a lot we don't know about how ADHD affects women and girls. In particular, we need more research on how best to treat the unique symptoms that affect them. However, there are some treatments that have been shown to be effective for both genders. One such treatment is mindfulness meditation.Treatment for ADHD in women
While medication may be the most talked about treatment for ADHD, there are other options that can be helpful. Treatment for ADHD in women often includes therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or mindfulness meditation. In a landmark study at the UCLA in 2007, 24 adults with ADHD took part in an 8 week programme of regular guided meditations. Participants reported improvements in their anxiety and depressive symptoms along with improvements in ADHD symptoms and in test performance on tasks measuring attention and cognitive inhibition.
My hope is that through regularly listening to the guided meditations in this audiobook, you can also benefit from an improvement in your symptoms.Guided meditation book for ADHD and women
