The July 4, 2009 Mindfulness Memo, titled "Mindfulness, Liberty & Fireworks" examines the role of mindfulness practices in freeing oneself from the confines of their own mental chatter and self imposed limitations to embrace life as it is and touch their full potential. The terms "Liberty" and "Pain and Suffering" - drawn from Jurisight, the mindfulness program developed for lawyers -- illustrate this dynamic and offer a simple "Learned Hand" mindfulness exercise for achieving balance and perspective during challenging times.
